One of my favorite movies (besides of The Lord of the Rings and Conan) is Wall Street. Some of you already know my other passion is Trading. Financial markets. Market wizardry involving millions of dollars

Some Photoshop work in order to get rid of all the unused parts of the poster, big size printing, and here we go for a Gordon Gecko portrait.
First step was to use transfer paper in order not to lose too much time drawing the portrait on the canvas. This technique, which I did not use for the Elf Amazon painting, has the big advantage to keep the right proportions compared to the original.

Next step will be refining the drawing with some diluted burnt umber paint. After that, the painting itself will begin…
