Recently my husband got a request from a client who wish to have a customize painting from Fernando Botero who painted the Fat Monalisa.
The client show him the reference picture of the painting therefore my husband can paint it accordingly.

These are the process of painting the Fat Monalisa...


First he painted the whole canvas with Black color before he draw out the picture with white paint.



After that he start painting the face.



He give the face the detailing



Last thing to do is to paint the background and the dress



Finally, touch up the painting and see anything miss out before apply the gloss varnish which function as to protect the painting.



Here is how the painting look like which is ready to deliver to the client.
When the client saw the painting, she is so happy and very satisfied with it.
She like it very much. She say worth the money she paid.
Cheers ^_^

He took quite a very long time to complete this masterpiece.

But worth waiting...

The making of a Masterpiece

Ever wonder how is this masterpiece being produce?
The artist invite you to his studio for an inside view of his painting secret.

This is how he started the painting. First he was approached to do a 4.5 x 3 feet acrylic painting on canvas. The client request a painting of a Lion surrounded by 4 wolves.

First, he did a rough sketch and get the client approved before he proceed to pencil the general outline of the image on the canvas.

Once penciled done, he start painting the lion. Some painter paint broadly first, putting in background colours before going into anything specific of fine tuning. But for him, he just paint without think too much.
He start with the dominant features that stand out as powerful elements that will attract the viewer's attention.

Once the lion is completed, he start painting the wolves. A fine brush is needed for painting the fur and detail.

Now the finishing touches. Time to paint the landscape. He let the piece sit for a day or so and then review it just to ensure he didn't overlooked any details.

Once the painting is done, for the final step is apply a gloss vanish to protech the masterpiece and give it a nice shine.
Now with that, the painting is completed ^_^
