Incredible success of the latest Legendary Auction™.
I think you may have already noticed: The latest Auction Legendary™. is working INCREDIBLY well.
No one has bid yet, but I can feel the energy. The tension... The magic... You feel it too, don't you!
And I want to celebrate.
No, no... wait...
I want us to celebrate.
And we're going to celebrate by adding not one but TWO more extras.
Two books by Oliva signed.
One for you (which I assume you will win) and one for you to give as a gift. Because giving away... watch this: giving away is wonderful.
Giving socks as a gift = Less wonderful
Giving a travel notebook as a gift = More wonderful.
How do you stay?
Incredible, isn't it?
Well, according to the calendar there are still MORE surprises left but on Sunday the bidding increase goes up. Don't be left behind.
I want you to win because you deserve it.
The first surprise
I present to you the first of the surprises that will accompany the Legendary Auction™ that we have right now marching fine as a Tesla but unstoppable as an ocean liner.
This is the ink sketch I used for the color illustration. (image above).
For years I have been working with line and color on separate sheets, a technique inspired by traditional comics. It took me 10 years (to put a round number) to find a way to do it right.
And the surprise is:
- That the drawing will be included in the auction!
That is, whoever wins gets the color original AND the black and white original. Both. Both.
What do you think?
It's amazing, isn't it!
Well, we still have a few more surprises to discover.
A new auction begins
Wednesday has arrived and after a month of hiatus we are back with the Legendary Auction.
This month's auctioned beauty is called: The beach early in the morning. An original work mounted on board. With wooden frame and six coats of varnish to last at least 200 years.
Things that interest you:
1. The starting price has been set at 250€.
2. The bid increment is at 10€. Tomorrow it will go up to 20€.
3. If you are still subscribed to the newsletters tomorrow I will tell you one of the surprises.
Ducks, dogs and streams
Are you ready for the next Legendary Auction?
It will be held on September 3.
It is going to be very LEGENDARY.
In the meantime I wanted to share with you the video that Celia and I made. Subscribe, hit the bell and like it. Here >
Looks like a tiger but is an Irbis
Drawing with kids in summer is a very fun and relaxing activity. I drew the picture above yesterday while B.M.d.l.F. (my oldest heir) was drawing pokemons.
This is an activity ESPECIALLY recommended for adults with some kind of blockage/fear with drawing and painting thanks to an unwritten rule.
The standard: if you draw with children put yourself at their level. Draw without trying too hard, a little bit shabby but fun. If you draw too well they'll end up comparing themselves to you and getting frustrated.
No one would think of telling Maradona to play serious soccer against a 7 year old. The same with drawing.
Thanks to this rule, any idea of trying to make «a good drawing» disappears. And you have a lot of fun.
Greetings - PEACE and Love
PS: The workshop is still closed for vacations but orders are still being processed (slow but they are being processed, hehehe...).
PS2: Ta-da! I'm back to Instagram...
New field easel in Bocairent
I'm still «a bit on vacation» but last weekend I was 100% on vacation.
We went to Bocairent and I had time to use a field (or travel) easel for the first time and make an ink sketch of Bocairent.
In case you are interested:
VERY nice Bocairent.
And VERY convenient field stand (with storage box).
But EVEN BETTER the Camping Villa Carmen (this).
There will be no auctions until September.
But it will be very special.
How to bid at Legendary Auctions
Operation
Each auction lasts for a certain period of time during which any user can place a bid to purchase the auctioned product.
- Once registered and logged into the website you will be able to place your bid.
- The user with the highest bid at the end of the auction will be the winner.
- At the end of the auction the winner will be able to purchase the product at the agreed price.
Go to Registration o Log in
OPTIONS AVAILABLE
Buy now.
In some auctions there will be a Buy Now button that allows you to skip the auction and take the artwork for a fixed price. The auction ends immediately when someone “buys it now”.
Important: The button disappears after the first bid.
Automatic bidding.
In an auction with automatic bidding enabled you can enter the maximum you are willing to pay for a piece and the system will bid for you automatically. It will always pay the minimum possible to keep you as the winner.
Example with an auction with an increment of 50€: If you add €1,000 as your maximum bid and someone bids €400 the system will raise your bid to €450. If someone bids again for €500 the system bids again for you up to €550. This way up to a maximum of 1.000€.
Payment plans.
In some auctions the winner will be able to choose between a single payment or a payment plan. No intermediaries, interest or commissions. In each auction the available payment plans will be indicated.
Available payment methods:
- One-time payment. You pay for everything and forget about it.
- Payment in two installments. You pay half and the other half the following month.
- Payment in two extended installments. Half now and half the following year.
