One composition down

Hi,

I'm messing around and did a quick sketch to scale. The canvas size will be 24x36. I wish it was larger but that's what will fit on the wall. If I put everything they want in the painting, full size figures with train, including cross and candelabras, the head size of the figures will only be 2.75" long.

The sketch is drawn to a quarter inch scale (.25"=1.00"). Now I need to talk to them about alternatives. If I proceed with this idea they will have a painting of a dress, not the bride and groom. Now I wish I had done the scale drawing while they were here, but this is a workable problem. It can be solved easily if they will give up the train.

Jean

It's boring anyway.
