Started Mural

[PythonWallace]

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?

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!!

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.
