  3. 3

    The Execution Montage

    Rapid-fire visual sequence of the creative process (tracing, painting) to provide satisfying sensory stimulation.

Transcript

This is part two of transforming my balcony into the Art Deco Miami eighties terrace. I showed you guys how I painted the deck pink and painted my railings inspired by the iconic designs from the Miami Ocean Surf Hotel. So as for the larger balcony wall, I decided it would be be so fun to paint a Miami eighties mural. So I sketched out a design on my iPad. I didn't wanna have to paint the design on a ridge surface, so I went to Lowe's to get a custom piece of plywood. I added my surface and asked for the background. I'm using the same color pink that I used on the deck. Next, I yes my projector to put the image on the plywood. I made sure I measured everything and traced out the design. And voila, I took it down to the studio and I got to painting. And if you couldn't tell by now, I am painting on the actual ocean surf hotel. I thought that would be such a fun way to tie everything in with the railings. And because I knew this part would be boring for you guys to watch, I made some custom bought better attire. And after multiple days of painting, here's my dad back from his sailing trip to do the big reveal. But there was one problem. He was like, Miranda, you did not do this on a plywood thick enough to be outside. So he got us some outdoor deck material and we're cutting out a sheet to to use that as a thicker bad.
