Back in 2020 while doing a mentroship course at The Oatley Academy (https://oatleyacademy.com/) I wanted to paint a scene from the classic story of Hercules. The first variation was a black and white painting, and although I wasn't completely satisfied with it, I think it had a lo of protentional. I took some time away from it, and continued to learn about painting. After two years of painting study and taking into consideration my mentor's feedback (thanks Chris, you're the best), I decided to take another whack at it. Hence the new version with a much better story.
