Mural Painting!!!

 

Ahh, the fresh smell of paint and the mess of it all!!! It has been awhile since I have ventured from the digital realm of painting. I had forgotten how much fun and challenging painting with traditional media can be. This is a mural that I painted for Crossing Church, were my wife and I are members of here in Louisville KY. This was by far the biggest mural I've had to paint yet. The dimensions of the wall were 10'x25'. I had a blast though getting my hands messy again, mixing colors and having the feel of the brush gliding across the wall.

Though I do a whole lot of digital artwork, there really is something special about being able to physically touch and see the texture of paint and traditional media in general. That, I will say, is the downfall of digital work. Sure you can print out stuff on a canvas, but you don't get the thickness, the texture, or even the smell like you would with a real painting. 

But I still enjoy creating both traditional and digital artwork and was very thankful for the opportunity to flex that traditional muscle again!
