March 31st (Usual 5 ltr paint tin for scale).
Whew, nearly finished. This has been a busy, and exhausting, few
days. All the white dots are to be covered with various colours of fluorescent
paint. Fluorescent paint works best on a base of white.
This is an exercise in layers. There are several tricks to help the
illusion of depth and one of them is to have lots of layers of elements
on top of each other. Look at the left 'arrow' for instance. Behind
it is the green arch, the word "Club", the American flag,
the lamppost, and finally the background building. The right side of
the cloth has even more layers which you can sort out for yourself.
On the left, off the cloth, beside the red curtain, is a piece of board
with a black line on it. That's my horizon/eye line.
Below the red 'No Parking' sign is my name. I usually try to get my
name on any cloth I paint.
