Lotus Mural

So little A had this idea for the bedroom wall.

Bedroom Mural Sketch

So to start off we'll need a wall then... Oh, look here's one.

Blank Wall

Hmm this wall's not the right color. We'll need a little blue. Let's make it match painters tape shall we?

Blue Wall

Then maybe fade into darker blue in the corners and some squiggly vine-y bits of glaze.

Lotus Mural Start

Ok, let's doodle on a happy little lotus flower shall we?

Then some color. This is really taking me back to the days of painting custom dance floor covers with ivy and roses. Yes I really used to do that for a living along with fabricating much wackier creations.

Lotus in Progress

Ok one flower pretty much done. Little yellow bits in the center per Little A's request..

Lotus Detail

A couple more of those and detailing on the curly bits and we're done.

Finished Mural

Well, almost done. Maybe some squiggly bits around the doors and windows.

And a lotus stamp on top. Ok I'm outta here...

Curly Door Frame 2

I think it came out OK. But it's nothing compared to the mural this guy did.
