Here are the first three photos of the mural I'm painting in a private home wine cellar in Fort Bragg, CA.
Day 1
I started on Sunday (Father's Day) adjusting lighting and laying out the arch shape and measuring all the elements.
The length is approximately 14' and the mural is an arched window with center redwood post and a "shutter" open on each side. The redwood shutter doors are inspired by the door into the wine cellar. Each door will be "hanging" from a small L-shaped bracket that will appear to protrude from the stone window surround via an "eye" in the end of the metal bands (not painted/shown yet).
Day 2
(Tuesday June 21) I refined the measurements and drew with vine charcoal on the wall. Then I used blue and green tape to outline the exterior lines of the stone and the shutters. Once all tape was burnished to the wall, I mixed up two colors for the stone faux wall and applied the colors to the exposed surface of the wall. Underneath the mural, an 11' bar will be situated and will cover the unpainted area seen below the mural.
Day 3 won't be until next week. See you later!
