Deladier,

Congratulations on the success of your painting. I am interested to know how you arrived at your initial drawing on the 30" x 40" canvas? I did not see any measurements lines.

Also, how did you learn to paint so well in only one year? What is your background and what have you been doing to have come so far so fast?

Thanks,
Mark Lovett

Hi, Mark.

I transferred the composition to the large canvas with a grid (I placed faint grid lines in pencil on the canvas and drew the outlines of the masses). Since I had painted a study first, I had been able to resolve the composition before I even started with the final painting.

Regarding my background, I studied architecture and art. I have been working very hard these last two years. I go to live model sessions 3 times a week and I paint every day. If I keep this up, by my calculations I should get pretty good in about 15 to 20 years.
