NEW YORK STREET SCENE Completed

April 1st (Lady from the gym next door came in to see what I was up to).
And here is the completed cloth. Apparently not much difference to the previous photo, but I have made many subtle changes and also spent a morning painting the fluorescent paint onto the signs. I also put many "Invisible blue" fluorescent paint windows on the background skyscrapers. Beware, when using this paint, of drips and accidental small spills which you can't see under normal lighting but will show up under UV lights. With small cloths and flats I use a portable UV lamp to check progress. But this was too big an area for my small lamp. However in order to give myself a vague idea of how to layout the colours I tried an experiment. CLICK to see what I have been up to.
