This was my first attempt at a full surfboard painting. Unfortunately photos really don't do it justice. Especially with the gold leaf. The entire painting was done with paint pens on the hot coat. This one ended up selling and is displayed in a tiki bar in the clients home in California.
If you're looking to learn about paint pen techniques, I recommend my buddy that helped me with this one. His name is Drew Brophy and is known around the world for his surfer lifestyle art and custom surfboards. Check out his work at drewbrophy.com and if you ever get a chance, swing by his studio in San Clemente, CA. It's a must for art lovers.
