Started Mural

I finally started the mural on my patio last week. I decided to do a saltwater angelfish scene. I'm about half done with it now. I have about 16 hours in (not including drawing and cutting out the stencils), but the 1st 4 were washed away in a storm on the second day of painting, so I had to start over again. I have more fish, coral and plants to add, and I'm adding a cave and a mako shark. Almost everything I have so far needs to be hand painted and touched up, but I think it's coming along.

Nasty wall before I started

Wow its beautiful!! :eek:


You did that with spray paint right??

Did you use all those different sized tips or just the basic ones that come already on the can?

Wow great job :gj: , I love it.

Really nice, it looks great. Wish I could do something like that. it reminds me of the those 3d paintings people do on the sidewalks.

oh my - that is absolutely beautiful!!!! i loooooooove the way the light shines down. what a gorgeous thing to do with that ugly cement monstrosity!

*in awe of you*

I rolled on primer and a navy blue base coat, but the rest is all spray paint. I used the stock nozzles. I planned to buy a bunch of tips, but I couldn't find any around where I live, and once I had the paint I had to get started. It would go a lot smoother with a nice set of nozzels, but It's not too bad.

Well, its looks great!! :gj:

You can buy them online, but looks like you never needed the tips in the first place. You have mad crazy talent!!

Plus I think I heard something about the smaller/thinner tips not really doing much difference. I can't remember though. :cool:

Really really cool there. I like it lots.
