    Amazing, i have never before heard of the technique, and here i have been struggling with proportions on large walls all those years lol.

      That awesome! All that time you saved can go back into making the art.

    I love that artists came up with this, breaking away from the old-school way of using a grid which is such a pain. I mean how much effort and time to get the grid up aligned perfectly, when this method is much faster and works just as well.

You clearly have it mastered and are making great stuff. Maybe one day I'll see you at Montreal's Muralfest?!

    I've just recently been considering painting a mural on my house. I've been painting on canvases for years, but I haven't ever done anything so large in scale, and was feeling a bit intimidated. But after watching your demonstration here, and listening to your teaching, I'm feeling less intimidated, and more encouraged that I might just be able to do it. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge! It is greatly appreciated.

    I love this method so much! There are so many options for referencing and replication, it's awesome. A big part of why I love art so much. We can all find methods that work for us :D I don't do large scale pieces, even on paper/canvas, I tend to go on the smaller side, but I'd be super curious to try this out. Thanks for sharing! And beautiful beautiful work ^^
