 <\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, someone asked a question concerning larger sized paintings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the largest size you would attempt to do when adding so much detail?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The answer, simply be due to physical limitations, would be a maximum size of 30 in x 40 in.\u00a0 The main reason being because that is the largest that I can order a board without custom request to the company.<\/p>\n

I could go larger.\u00a0 I presume I would only be limited by the machines’ sizes that make various brands of hotpress boards or papers.\u00a0 However, it is very time consuming and labor intensive working large being that I strive to retain the usual level of intricate brush work no matter what the size of the piece.\u00a0 Likewise, it also carries with it a great sense of accomplishment when it is finished.<\/p>\n

I find the entire process to be a bit of a challenge.. because not only does one have to paint the intricacies of the animal, habitat, etc on a large surface area in fine detail while making sure all of it comes out evenly, which can be a more complex and difficult issue the larger a painting is (both physically and visually).\u00a0 But also, of course, the painting must carry and have impact from across a room.<\/p>\n

These larger works are a bit more difficult than small paintings for those reasons..<\/p>\n
