"Badjao Bros" | My Last Painting Art Piece in 2020

Hello and happy first week of December to everyone.
Today I have another old artwork for you guys that I made before and this was also my last painting art piece.

Story of the Art

I made this painting in 2020, this was a commissioned painting project from a student specifically his special project to make him pass his failed subject. Anyways if you don't know guys I lived in a rural area so being a nice and kind artist It's really hard for me to ask the real price for my talent fee and he is also a student he doesn't have a job or owned money to pay my talent fee so I just ask for only $13.50-$14 same price with my previous art blog: My Old Commission Portrait in year 2020.

The next year I was in a BCH project called Noise Cash it's a microblogging platform under BCH blockchain then I met a BCH whale there and we became friends then he told me to put this painting as NFT on Juungle an NFT Gallery also under BCH Blockchain. He bought this as an NFT Art for around $108.40-$126.40 at this time rate. I was surprised and also thankful to him for purchasing my last painting masterpiece
the "Badjao Bros".

I also have a bonus painting to show you guys it's still an unfinished art piece that I painted in the year 2017 and I named it "The Wild Life"

Working Process

• Sketching, Detailing and Line art

This is my room before I only slept on the ground with this old dirty carpet and also I didn't have a computer table before so as you can see I also put my laptop there on the ground but I also have a small working desk where I draw and paint.

• Painting and Coloring

This is my niece who is my neighbor, before, most of the time she always goes here and she also wants me to teach her to draw and paint.

For the last touch I spray some Acrylic Lacquer to protect the painting from dust and it brings more brightness and vivid colors to the painting.

Materials and Tools I Used

• Canvas Board
• Graphite Pencil
• Eraser
• Ruler
• Paint Brushes
• Acrylic Paint

Trivia

The Badjao / Bajau tribe is an indigenous population whose culture and livelihood are tied to the sea. Also widely known as the “Sea Gypsies” of the Sulu and Celebes Seas, the Badjao are scattered along the coastal areas of Tawi Tawi, Sulu, Basilan, and some coastal areas of Zamboanga City.

Ending Message
I'm glad that I saved a lot of WIP photos of this painting of mine so you can curate it as an authentic and original work.

I think that's it for today's art blog and see you on the next one.
