This has been an exciting custom painting and the largest project I have done so far. Working on such a big scale has brought some new unexpected challenges and made me realise I don't have enough large brushes. 😛
Anyways I feel inspired for more and immediately stocked up on some large scale papers. Stay tuned!

Watercolour on paper 500x700mm.
