Jaws + Anniversary
"You're gonna need a bigger boat"
The Tradition
Every year, for our anniversary I paint my husband a 4x6” watercolor or gouache painting of the movie poster for some of his highly rated movies.
The first year, I did Hausu. It was fun and easy and I wish I had a photo to show you.
My plan is to have them all framed side by side and so the size must remain the same and the quality will (hopefully?) improve with time.
Jaws
This year, I did JAWS. Little did I know that this year is the 50th anniversary! That said, I made a timelapse of my painting. Watch it on Youtube! Please like and subscribe.
I’ve chosen movie posters that are easy to do in a small size. I used the grid method to get the proportions right (well, better) and took a few liberties. I don’t know how people can paint this small regularly. It’s so difficult! Especially with watercolor. You need great brushes, and patience.
I don’t think the quality of the image in the video holds up well since the painting itself is so small but whatever, I tried.
