Once the kids finished their paintings Jayne downloaded their individual trees into Photoshop and using her Wacom tablet and pen tool, traced each tree and put into a scaled version of the mural wall. Once the trees were put in a good composition, we were good to go! We even did a comp with some color added to get the feel for the soon to be finished project.
The beige, yes beige, 10′ x 20′ wall was begging for color. And by George, Debbie, Arin, and Jayne took care of that!
Arin’s friend, Jenny, came by and helped apply paint and general good humor. Jayne and Arin started getting hungry. Skipped lunch. Dumb. So…by the end of the painting session we got a bit goofy. See the pictures as proof. On Thursday, we will be adding the kid’s enlarged drawings and they will be joining us on Friday to paint their trees. It will be one wonderful, colorful tree mural.
Stay tuned.
