The Mural Continues part 14

It's been quite a while, four weeks exactly, since the last time I touched brush to wall on the mural project, but today was finally time to continue. Pat had come up with a basic sketch plan and had put up a grid on the wall, and the weather seemed just warm enough to get paint to stick to the concrete. I met up with her and special guest muralist Bob Mataranglo in the early afternoon. Bob was here to work on his contribution to the undersea portion of the mural, a giant sea turtle. Pat and I started putting in sea plants. I mixed up a greenish color from a selection of Siperstein colors- Windy Pine, Grand Grape, and Harbor Blue. In the top photo you see where I filled in (the lighter green) Pat's earlier pencils. The ones in the bottom photo (right side of the mural) I painted freehand based on Pat's gridded paper sketch. Meanwhile she mixed up a bluish tone for some plants and other sea life, and started putting in some sand at the lowest level. Things were going well until the temperature seemed to drop 10 degrees in a few minutes, which was a sign is was time to go. But we plan to return tomorrow and see how much we can do with another expected warm day.
