wip – maui portrait stage 1
Here’s my work in progress for this week. I’ve wanted to paint a portrait of my cat, Maui, ever since I got my paints for Christmas, but haven’t got around to it yet. As this will only be my second painting ever, I’ve been too nervous that I will mess it up. This is going to be a long process before it gets finished. So far I have I underpainted the canvas, sketched the outline and blocked in some colours. I’m really encouraged because, even though it’s very rough, it actually looks quite like Maui already!
Hoping I get a change to work on it some more soon. More to follow…

Thank you so much, Linda. I don’t think I’ll ever finish this painting I started 15 years ago – I lost momentum and got too scared that I’d mess it up by continuing it 🙁
You probably just received the blog post I accidentally published early about the (photographic) portrait of Maui that I’m in the middle of making – I’ll republish that with a photo once I receive the finished canvas…
