Mural: Adding Red Paint to a Gray Underpainting on the Barn |
Just a little darker gray and a hint of perspective on the inside stalls is enough to give the illusion of going back in space. Here, the barn already has the look I want, of a space that looks three dimensional, as if you could just walk through it. We also wanted a hayloft with sprigs of hay sticking out, to break up the red space and soften the harsh line of having the top of the barn wall run straight along the ceiling. There wasn't much room for a hayloft, but I put in just enough to soften the line of the barn. By now, it was my sixth day of painting. And I believe it was on this red-letter date that Brenda first mentioned the possibility of my painting some faux bay windows...
