Living at Big Hill (actually not)

Val's -it's about time Restaurant/Altus Okla.---On with the show!



This most recent project has been coming along fine so far. Next we move on up the wall to the next steps.
Formerly this building front had nothing- just stucco facing and painted beige. But now we have the 'brick tools' in our hands, we are able to make alterations with the airbrush and a simple overhead projector, some white latex exterior paint, and about four colors that are oil based.
Right there - up above the large window at the corner- is where we will be installing the title of the business. On either side (going out from it) will be these 'airbrushed brick' outcroppings that are stone arches. Just a minute-
This arch that you see is actually not the one we will be using, but this will give you an idea. We will put an arch like this one onto transparency - and will project the lines onto the wall itself. The projector allows us to 'move' the art around until it is exactly where we want it.
When we begin to paint it in, we will change the stone work you see in the photo, to bricks---to match the bricks on the wall down below.
The tricky part of this level in the game is to install shadowing below the arches (there will be four of them)...to make them look as if they are really there.
