Documenting my progress of this bold and vibrant Welcome sign/mural for an equine healthcare facility.

Priming the canvas with special concrete primer to stop the paint from being absorbed.

As is pretty obvious, the canvas is 4 concrete blocks which means there are not only join lines, but the surface is FAR from smooth. This means paint application takes much longer, and I can’t be so precise with my brushstrokes. I therefore have composed quite a bold and ‘blocky’ image to overcome these challenges.

Day 1

Day 2

Pretty pleased with the progress, I’m not sure about the red/blue horse so that needs a bit of tweaking and LAYERS are going to be key for this piece.

Day 3

Made progress with the horses today and started to work on the background further.

Day 4

Lots of progress on the trees today as well as the forest floor. Really coming together well now.

Day 5

Softening up the middle horse and refining colour choice. Also added some more layers on the tree branches.
