You put up barriers, signs, cones and safety tape and yet there are complete idiots out there who think nothing of it and barge their way through and walk over the wet paint! Then when you confront them they are indifferent.......forget about the behaviour of the youth of today, I think the adults need to be taught some manners. So, because of this insane behaviour there are now a few areas on the mural that need re-touching, which in turn means that those areas will now have to stay out of bounds for longer. Well at least it will give them something to moan about.
Despite these interuptions we still got alot done today. There was no Alison today but Iain and Simon were my lackys for the day - thanks again to you both!! They also doubled up as bodyguards and didn't mind yelling at the idiots trespassing.
I only really had one problem today and that was the yellow paint. As always it is alot thinner than the other colours which meant when it was applied to the 'rise' of the stairs it did run and go very patchy. So another coat will have to be applied. The best way to actually use the yellow I found was to pour the paint out of the tin directly onto the floor and to spread it out with a brush. By doing so meant it wasn't getting spread too thinly and wasn't patchy.
Instead of going into great detail today about what was painted, I will just put up some photos so you can all compare with yesterday's. As you will see we went down onto another two levels and filled in parts of those designs.
Tomorrow I hope to finish off any touch ups on things painted the last two days, second coat yellow and get backgrounds onto sky and land. Then draw and paint in design on sky level in front of lift (which looks like being broken for a while yet and may cause me future problems) and finally some priming will need to be done because I am running out of spaces to paint!
