[@queenquinn9192]

Gorgeous! Please can you show us how you did the whale from the start? Or in fact the whole painting ?

[@ExploreAcrylics]

Hi, I don't have footage from the start sorry :) In the description of this video however you'll find links to workshop notes I've done in the past which goes through the whole process :D

[@Samieseeker]

Thank you for this service. Your videos are incredibly helpful. This piece is absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to ask if you might consider another two lessons. I can't see them in your vids, so I apologise if I missed them... I'd love a lesson on your canvas prep, and also how you ship..... The other thing I'd love to know is how you work out pricing. How do you know what to charge? Hopefully you won't think I'm cheeky for asking.
Cheers

[@ExploreAcrylics]

Great suggestions. Canvas prep is pretty much non-existent. I use artist quality canvas which is already primed. I just paint straight onto it after stretching. Shipping we use couriers or Australia Post, and bubble wrap and box each piece individually. Pricing is tricky and dependant on lots of factors!

[@kenlyon7709]

what size canvas did you use? I would like to give it a try.

[@ExploreAcrylics]

Hmmmm that was quite a long canvas. I think from memory it was about 500mm wide and possibly about 1200mm tall. That is a very rough estimate though!
