family crest framed to display in our house. Simple right? Buy the print, get frame, done. So I researched and found these to options. I showed them to Tyler and asked him which one was his. His answer: Neither. Ugh.... what was I going to do?Then Tyler informed me that he has a picture of the Forrest family crest... that was hand drawn.... decades ago.... in pencil... about 2 inches tall. Great... yes? no?
So, that is how this little project got started. I had originally planned to major in art when I came to college. One art history class later, I realized I couldn't make it through the history part to actually start making art. How I got to be a business major? That's a whole different story!
Anyways, I had taken several art classes and always loved painting. So I decided I would tackle the family crest with my own two hands.... and paint it!
This is all I have so far...... Haha. Tyler got me that amazing easel for my birthday! It is very high quality. What you can't tell from the picture is that I gesso-ed it last night. (A.K.A primer for acrylic paints on canvas.) Now, I just have to enlarge the picture that Tyler has and draw lots of trees... get it Forrest.. trees......I will keep you updated on how it turns out... and it you don't hear anything else about it.. know it didn't turn out well!
