Hi There,

A couple months ago one of my paintings was found by a gentlemen looking for a cool picture to print of Biggie Smalls. Let’s call him “Ted”. Well Ted finds an image on google of a biggie I painted for eBay. He shoots me an email asking me about the piece and if I can replicate it. Which I said yes, yes I can. Below are the pictures I took while making it. It took me about a week to complete and another week to dry. Shipped safely to Chicago from LA. Ted was amazed and it now sits on his fireplace center stage of his home. Another happy member of the Renteria Painting Family.

Here the pictures from beginning to end…

Grid Method works great for big pieces.

Now I like to start with the background so I can paint over on the edges of the face and not worry about getting background paint on the face.
