Finished! π
It was a lot of fun to build. The designers did an incredible job. And the portrait looks even better in real life β€οΈ
It will hang on the wall in the living room πΌοΈ

Back to work! π¨βπ¨
I'm making the frame for the painting. I've cut, assembled and polished the wooden edges. Then I started applying gold leaf ποΈ
It's a very meticulous job π

For the face, I have two options:
- either I use tiles with the eyes printed on them.
- or I use blank tiles.
I'll take my time before deciding π¨βπ¨

I put the finishing touches to Mona Lisa's clothes. The sleeves are finished and the hands have been added! ποΈ
Here's a tilted view of the portrait so you can see the different layers.
All that's missing now is the face! π©

The Lego portrait of the Mona Lisa is well under way! πΌοΈ
The clothes are now visible and almost complete. Strands of hair have been added. As well as the upper chest.
I'm slowly nearing the end π
𧡠5/
I resumed painting the portrait of Mona Lisa π¨
The drape she's wearing is starting to take shape. I also made a first sketch of the face and added a little volume to the hair on one side. And made the bars of the armrest.
Can't wait to do the rest π

Second coat of paint! π¨βπ¨
I started to thicken the clothes and sketch the hair on one side. I also touched up the mountains a little.
Then I put the canvas on a suitable support. More practical for painting π
𧡠3/
First coat of paint applied! ποΈ
Other layers will be added (mountains, face, clothes, hands, etc.). If you look closely, you'll notice that the bust is already taking on some relief.
I really like the colour gradations.

Inspired, I started painting a portrait with Lego bricks π¨ π¨βπ¨
I've completed 4 of the 17 stages/bags and I'm already very excited π
I'm going to take my time and build it over several days.
