Painting a motive on a tie is a completely different thing than painting a shirt: Almost 1.5 m length that must be covered, but only a few centimeters width. I chose a blue pattern that represents the ocean waves. At the bottom, there is a helmswheel bearing "S.O.S.". Above, there is a sketch of a sinking ship and people floating in the ocean. The letters of the ship's name "Titanic" are tumbling down the length of the tie.

The background was done with some irregularly torn paper as a loose stencil. The foreground was done freehand.
