Mock-ups and Murals…

Mock-ups and Murals…

It was great fun to teach a “mock-up to mural painting” program at the Montana Branch Library in Santa Monica this past Saturday.

We called it a

and attendees looked at a number of my live and in-person mock-ups (to-scale miniatures of planned murals), and images on my site of the finished murals.

Planning for Elders in the Central City

Exterior Mural done on fence 2 stories up, seen through kitchen window.

Garden mural done on patio fence.

Living Room Wall Mural

We talked color, scale, technique, and then they painted their own mock-ups on project display boards. Big Fun!

The results were magnificent.

Each participant expressed her own style, color personality, and visual story.

 

What a privilege to work with these artists, and watch them express themselves in paint, color, line shape and imagery.

Gratitudes!

Denim, acrylic paint, hemp cord, board.

Multiple signature binding, each signature composed of a single bifolium.

Cover imagery created by students unloading their paint brushes on to the denim surface, at the end of a class where they painted their own canvas book covers. The resulting painting was ‘captured”, adhered to boards, and used as the collaborative cover of this book.

  

And a river ran through it. The End.

For now…
