Medium Gouache on 20 x 30 inch CS2 art board.

If your balloon is not included, please do not berate me. It may be that I have not had your permission, or have a good enough photograph. For future consideration, E-mail me with details of your balloon and permission to include it in future posters. It is impossible to include every shape.

There are 3 main stages to executing the painting:
1. The drawing up of the painting
2. Filling in  the colours, which is like painting by numbers.
3. The final and trickiest stage is the airbrushing of the light and shade which gives the balloons their 'shape'.
Each stage represents about a week's work and 16 years of experience.
