I'm nearly there with the painting, the main area left to do is the treasure chest on the chest!

Then a good few coats of varnish.

Day 7

Day 8

Progress seems rather slow now I'm putting more coats of paint on and neatening up, so it's hard to see the difference some days!

It's fun doing the details though. The sea monsters are intended to echo tattoo's because he's a sea faring gentleman!

My sponsor is Bristol Blue Glass and apart from the lovely ultramarine blue colour I've added a message in a bottle...of Bristol Blue Glass of course...haven't decided what the message is!

More Bristol Gorilla update

Day 5

Day 6

Haven't had full days painting and it get's harder to work at a good pace as you get into the more detailed painting, but I'm trying to keep going reasonably fast. My elephant is watching!

Day 4

Day 3

Still frantically painting.

The sculpture has such character..he's taken over my studio!

Until you have the sculpture in front of you, it's impossible to design for the areas underneath and between legs etc. ...... I decided to keep the same level of detail going...must have been mad!

Gorilla update

I'm getting stuck into painting my gorilla, the surface isn't quite a big as the elephant but it's more curved!

Here are some pics of my progress since Friday.

Day two

Day one

Arrival...move over ele!
