Pets and Bets - Non-kill animal shelter fundraiser

Recently, we did...

Emily's Pirate Ship

This nursery room was done in mid-May.
The walls and ceiling were given a base coat of light blue. The mural is two walls and some of the ceiling.

The background was airbrushed, the ship was then added with bristle brushes, followed by airbrushed shadows and highlights.

Honour's Pirate Ship

This one-wall pirate mural in a boy's bedroom replaced a dolphin theme kid's mural. We started by painting the whole wall blue, then drawing the ship with black using artist's brushes. The stormy background was airbrushed. Sharks and details of the ship were also painted in with airbrush before adding a clear protective coat.
Work took about a week and a half.

   
   
   

Dee's Vacation

Started in the end of May, this backyard mural creates the feel of a South Pacific beach right here in Metro Detroit. More pics detailing the process are here. Click thumbnails at right for a larger image.
