We have visited Bay City for the third time this month already.
Our first time we went to visit and see the wall. It was nice to see it in real life and imagine the mural. The second time we went to visit we actually began to sketch out the mural. We had a few technical difficulties. Our third time we finished taping the outlines on the wall and began to paint!
The fact that we decided to get water based paint instead of oil based (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/44106/home_painting_tips_waterbased_or_oilbased.html) is making things go by a lot faster. The oil paint is a lot stronger and takes at least 24 hours before it completely dries. Water based paint only takes about 30 minutes to dry.
We are sure that we will finish the mural by Thursday! At first there were many people who doubted that we would actually accomplish our goal, but I'm sure that we can do it! We can't wait to meet the children and spend time with them. It's exciting to have the project day here already! I can't wait to see the end result!
Becca,
ReplyDeleteLike I've told Nick, you should keep your viewers updated about the progress you and Brenda are making during Creativity Week. I would love to read what you both are accomplishing. I believe that you both have the potential to finish and I'm rooting for you both!! Woo!! So my question for you is what are your plans after your mural is finished? It's a big question, pending many answers. Good luck!!
