A lil More Time on the Castle Mural

Like the title says - I was able to put in a lil more time (still not enough) on the castle mural.




Those are the before and after (for now).

There are a few changes: rounded out the entire mural to make the border look better (that will be the last thing to be added). the castle has more pink (just what my clients daughter wanted).
the road is now water. the sky is a lighter blue with white, fluffy clouds. a few windows added (need more work).

There is a request for a bridge (I don't know) and not 1, but horses (that's plural), painted horses (my favorite kind). The flagpoles need to be added as well as the flags.

Details. Details. Details.

Castle Mural

I started a new mural today. Put in about 7 1/2 hours and I. Am. Spent! Ow.



Using a projector again (having sketched out the image a few days ago). This was very different from the Spider man cityscape.



I traced out the castle and then using brown paint started painting in the shadows.
Dark blue framing the castle (to make it POP).








My client picked out purple for the castle. Using an eggplant for shadows (painting over the brown) and a lighter shade for the main body. It looks good.

It's only about 80-90% finished. I still need to add trees, the road, a horse and details...lots and lots of detail.
