A Burning Question

 "Leaning Lanterns (sketch)"
approx. 8 x 10 inches, oil on board
Sold

I'm loving these Chinese Lanterns. They are, by far, the cream of my yard sale shopping crop this summer. I scored a TON of them, too.

I'll be blowing this little sketch up into a larger painting, but what size canvas to use if I want to keep the same proportions? Once again, the internet has the answer to my burning question, and here it is:


Hope you're having a great day!

The 8x10,16x20 and 24x36 are all the same proportion. One side is divisible by 4 and the other by 5 giving the same number, 6. I think the 24x30 is a comfortable size. A little larger is the 32x40. Unless you are planning to change the composition,I would stay away from the other ratios.

Correction in the first line, 24x30 not 24x36.
