Re: Spray can mural updated
Simply brilliant!!
How did you solve the issue of moisture coming through the cement and making the paint run?
Re: Spray can mural updated
Thanks for the nods. I didn't do anything. I waited it out through a few hard rains and it was holding up, so I pressed on. I've been getting plenty of rain here, so it should be fine. It doesn't drip, but some color wipes off if you wash it, so I definately have to use a few coats of clear coat when I finish. The last of it will be hours of detail work, but it will be worth it in the end. I even painted scales on the Angels that have naturally visable scales. I just bought an airbrush, so I might use that to do the detail work. Applying quick dry spraypaint with paint brushes is a tough battle.

Man thats really nice, good job on it, next time you should do something like a bunch of morphs piled up. :D

Thanks. I wanted to do something that most people would want to look at since I plan on selling the condo within the next year. I'm hoping it will add something when people are looking at it. I'd hate to have something that turns buyers away. Plus snakes are really hard to paint with any kind of detail. I hope a buyer doesn't stipulate that the wall has to be painted over before the sale, but I know it's a possability. I did think about doing a scene of a snake pit with BP morphs and some trees with different GTPs, but I'd probably have another 100 hours to go if I started something like that.

That's fantastic! I can't see how that wouldn't be a selling point actually. Underwater scenes are considered restful and it's a custom, one of a kind job (make sure your realtor pushes that when you do decide to sell). Lovely work! Want to come to my house and do my youngest son's bedroom? LOL

Thanks. That's kind of what I was thinking, but you never know who will be taking the walk throughs. If you didn't live in Ohio I'd love to do another one. I learned so much with this, that my next one will look 10x better and take a lot less time. I wish I had practiced on a couple of 4x8' plywood first, but I got the hang of it now. From planning to techniques to can control and how the paint lays down... this one is all a learning experience for me. I plan on doing many more in the future. This project has already got me back into graffiti art and into airbrushing too.
