Painting a mural for a supermarket conference room
A quick run through on the process for creating a mural for a Woolworths supermarket conference room. I'll be sharing the second mural I worked on for them in the coming weeks.

A blank canvas, This part is a little daunting. Although not always necessary, I applied two coats of white primer to the wall with a paint roller. The wall was a pretty dark blue and light colours would have required many coats.

Majority of the foundations and base colours are done at this point. I'm midway painting the kookaburra and have my concept sketch handy for reference. The concept sketch had already been approved.

Painting some red onions. I've masked off some areas to help with clean edges. The white outlines here are where I painted cane grass leaves over the red onions.

This part was pretty tedious, There was lots of blending and shading in the fruit. Overall I realized I had maybe used way too many gradients in the design, it was tricky and time consuming to get clean gradient transitions.

The general idea was to create something that resembled the town and the supermarket. The sugar mill in the background, the beach and a barrel of Bundaberg Rum!
Thanks for looking.
Jeremy, that is one awesome mural. I'm actually surprised someone in Woolworths management decided to have this at their conference, which means not all of them are soulless suits lol.
Lovely bird, I like how you drew the wings a lot. So graceful :).
Haha yes. The regional manager and manager especially seemed pretty excited about it. The only rules were no offensive content! Thank you!
I think this is an amazing piece of art! I like that you work multiple thoughts into the one theme, as is appropriate for a supermarket.
