The Process
- Paddle and design selection: I select the paddle I'm going to use based on the design created from a reference image. My reference images are sourced from my client’s designs, my collection of photos, or from a hand-picked group of Photographers that I follow and work with online.
- Design printing and wood sealing: Once the digital design is completed, I print it and overlay it onto the paddle. When the design looks right for what I want to achieve, I start preparing the paddle. This involves sealing the wood first then applying two coats of Gesso. Once the paddle is dry, I sketch the design by hand and use acrylics as my painting medium.
- Paddle and design painting: Once completed, I paint the back of the paddle black, sign it, and name it. Then I apply two coats of clear varnish. Each step needs to dry before moving forward to the next step. The result is always rewarding.
- Shipping & Delivery: The paddle is packed and shipped to the client wherever they may be.
