How the Mural Was Commissioned

I was doing a PGCE this course which required me to do somepractical observation in primary and secondary school.

I had a fantastic welcome in Roath Primary school and felt sogreat! I suddenly had an urge to giving away one of my paintings

inspired by a nursery rhyme, The Little Old Lady Who Lived In AShoe, so I decided to donate it to the school.

The Headmaster asked me about creating a mural on a playgroundwall. I looked at it, but at that time I did not see it.

When I came back from summer vacation, he asked me again andI looked at the wall and this time, I could visualize it.

That was when I knew I could do it. I saw the mural on that walland I agreed to paint it!

My Concerns

Wall is massive, will have to rent scaffolding.

What materials, paints, varnish?

I found out the best way was to use masonrypaint, as it is formulated for masonry surfacesand to withstand the weather.

If I used varnish, the water would filterbetween the paint and the varnish.

How to Apply the Paint?

I was concerned about using blended colours for the mural.My plan was to have each part of the design numbered for acorresponding flat colour. I needed a machine to mix them,because each came in 5 litre containers. I bought liquidpigments and mixed the shades myself.

For the Simpsons painting, the artist has mostly used flat colours.

Priming the wallwhite was thefirst step.

It was foggy, butnot too cold.

Working high upon a scaffold waskind of scary.
