Sketch for "Untamed" 8x10 Original Portrait Painting on Paper

“This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they’ve never been.” ― Glennon Doyle, Untamed.

This book has changed my life. You need to read it because if a book can bring Adele to burn her life to the ground and rebuild herself the way she did, we all need it. You deserve something beautiful and meaningful on your wall to remind you daily that you, my darling, are a goddamn cheetah.

My first step in creating a new piece of art is to put my idea on paper. Half of these are usually amazing, and when they are, I can’t help but share them with my collectors. I then create a 11x14 study on canvas before jumping on the BIG artwork.

If you are looking for a lower priced art piece, sketches and studies are for you!

Art sketches are created on 8x10 watercolour paper, grounded with 3 layers of clear gesso, and Gamblin handcrafted oil colours, which use only the finest grade of pigments that we can trust for permanence and studio safety. Art sketches are varnished using Gamvar by Gamblin, which saturates colours and gives a unified and protective surface.

Collecting your original art sketch is easy: fall in love, buy a frame, and install a nail. I take care of the rest. Original art sketch come varnished, and with an authenticity certificate. Allow 2 to 4 weeks for varnishing and shipping.
