The power of an airbrush

 Airbrushing is so rewarding. The tool can go so many places and preform so many great tasks-you would think it would be a staple in the home.  This job required a brick wall in Graham Texas.  The brick was already painted just red (no mortar showing). And this old building had old windows and a door that had been bricked over.  So I challenged Mainstreet (the folks who commissioned me for this) -that I could restore those missing features as you can see.

Starting out we totally whited out the old wall and canceled the orange/red paint that was already there.
Then, I did some out lining of the old windows and door. Then proceeded filling in the new brick look.  This time we varigated the brick color to break it up (artist slang)...then took the airbrush and filled in the grey concrete mortar between the bricks.

 Oddly enough, you felt like you were looking at an ordinary brick wall in the completed project.
But it was fun to see the old
features of the building being 'brought back into action'-so to speak.







Well thats all for now folks.  But I will tell you this folks...back in the day when these buildings were first built.  There was no great selection of colored paints like we have today.  Sherwin Williams did not exist then.

Only a hardware store or lumberyard offered basic colors like red,white,green,blue.  Weird but true.
