So with this great news and things settled down, I decided that I would work on my DIY project every Friday for three hours, usually from 5pm-8pm, excluding the time to prepare all the materials and clean up. I started painting in one of the children's ministry rooms on the Ides of March, Friday March 15. This room is for the toddlers-preschool boys. For this room I decided to paint David and Goliath and use the bible verse from Phillipians 4:13, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
The wall was a baby blue. I first sketched out my drawing using a brown marker. Then I outlined everything with black paint. Next, I started mixing all the other colors and started painting as much as I could with the time I had left. For my first experience, what I finished in three hours worth wasn't too bad, however I know that I could have done better. Whatever happens, I shall fix any mistakes or flaws this Friday.
For my first cartoony mural experience, this wasn't so bad. Since it was my first time and I was flying solo, I personally thought that I did a really good job, except on David's face... A pat on the back for me haha. I look forward to this Friday and I really hope that I can finish up the whole wall so that the next week I can get started on the next wall.
Some negatives to this was how scary and lonely it is to be painting by myself. The room I was pairing in is like the portals at school, a little far from the church and main children's ministry room. Also that room is super stuffy, mainly because I did not open the windows since I was scared that someone might pop by and give me more than just a little scare. Regarding paint supplies, the majority of paint bottles were empty so I'm hoping that I'll have a day where I can just sit down and sort out all the paint. I need to calculate out how much paint I have and how long it's going to last me so I can notify Lana and then someone could grab me some more paint or I could just go do it myself.
