Default The Great Wave Off Kanagawa!

So I made this strictly for a contest at the Import Alliance Meet in Nashville that was last weekend. I wanted to stray away from the usual stencil or color changing VC's that i've seen in the past and hand paint something. I went with the Japanese woodblock painting of the Great wave off kanagawa. It turned out a whole lot better then I thought it would. It took me roughly 5 days to complete(first time painting lol) . I used model enamel paints, so im not too sure how it'll hold up in the heat. I ended up going on the wrong day for the contest and couldn't enter lol. Enjoy!

Original Painting

Primed and sketched


Final! cleared!
