Ok after a long time in the making we are ready to launch the new site. Surely we will be working out some kinks and adding elements as we progress...so please stay tuned for that. Since we have been working on the new site for some time now, we have a pretty good backlog of some interesting projects to start off the postings. I will try to take all the projects from the begining stages to the completion....and try my best to explain what is happening along the way. This section should give prospective new clients an opportunity to review the process and help inform muralists and artists of the techniques we use to achieve the finished products. Hope you enjoy!
Here is how all the work begins. We do a simple outline of what is to become the finished product. This is one of the most important stages and where most of the thought and weeks of preparation start to take shape. All good design is about the composition.
The chalk drawings are positioned for character visibility and furniture placement
This fairy (or faerie) room will consist of a beautiful fantasy sky, large flowers and all the other magical elements that make up a little girls room.
Since a basic chalk outline is a pretty weak way to start out a blog...here is the second step. This process is where we "block-in" all the general colors that will make up the finished design. Working from the background forward. Later I will show you the blending to make it all come together.
Now that we are officially on our way, I hope that you will check back to see some of our other projects. I have some really cool stuff yet to come along with some of the best craftsman in the Tampa Bay area and beyond.
From the "bands" of color comes time to start airbrushing in the clouds. This is a little bit of a tricky sky since the orange and yellow work well together, the orange and purple do not. The orange and purple tend to "muddy up" instead of transition. I am also not the best photographer, so the colors are much more vibrant in person.
Here you can see the background against some of the foreground leaves and flowers. I always include some highlights careful not to over do it.
