When I was working on my most recent three-cat commission, I set out to record the full process. Every painting takes a significant investment of time and energy, but adding a camera, lights, narration, and audio piles on extra work. That part will get easier the more I do it, but I’m still refining my workflow for creating regular videos.
With each one, I learn a little more, cut down on frustrations in editing, and enjoy the process more.
In this video, I share the early sketch work, talk through the messy middle, and explain why commissions carry a different kind of pressure than painting for myself.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Patrick
