Video Transcript

"ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, I'm Angela from ExpertVillage.com. And right now, I've started filling in most of the background. I usually do the foreground first but I am do--I'm going to show you how I'm going to do the foreground just to--so you know the basics of what to do first. Of course, you're going to normally finish the background first. And what we're doing in the foreground is the client wanted me to camouflage this into the painting. So we're going to make it as a construction sign in the foreground so it's kind of upfront and all of these is in the background. So I need to make sure that I tape it off before we paint it. We're going to paint it a bright construction sign orange and that will be on the next segment. We're certainly going to do that. But I just need to make sure that I tape it off so I'm not getting that orange paint because I'm going to be painting solid. I just don't want to get that orange paint everywhere, all over the mural. Okay. So I'm going to pick a bright paint color, a bright orange, and I'm going to paint that in solid and then I'm going to paint in my post to make it look like it's sitting out front for the construction theme."
