Section 1 (left side) 23" X 25"
A triptych (/ˈtrɪptɪk/ trip-tik; (from the Greek adjective τρίπτυχοs ("three-fold"), from tri-= "three" + ptysso= "to fold") is a work of art (usually a panel painting) that is divided into three sections.
I am starting a huge project- a watercolor triptych of a beautiful beach on Oahu. The reference photo was taken by my beautiful daughter in law of the beach she goes to on base (Pearl Harbor/Hickam AFB). The total width will be 100" across and 23" high. Usually, what I call a large watercolor is 18 X24". This is definitely a new challenge for me! I am starting with the end sections to get the feel of it (besides, I am terrified of the 50" wide center piece- reloading my brush in the midst of painting water, etc.).
