mural project #2, part 2

After the mural background color was painted, we returned the following week to sketch the entire mural from a scaled-down paper study to the full blown mural, which was 56'L x 5'6"H. Transferring the mural from paper to wall took about 4.5 full hours, and the next day we had a crew of about 15 volunteer mural painters who helped us paint all day long.

The pics below show various portions of the mural, in its sketched state and final painted state. What an undertaking!











And lastly, one of my favorite contributions to the mural:


All in all, it was a pretty huge project with a lot of lessons learned. But beyond that, it just felt really awesome to know that we made even a small difference in the lives of the residents of the Veralyne Hamilton Residence in the Bronx.
