Painting a Mural for a Business

Video Transcript

"I'm meeting with the owner of the India Palace Restaurant, Ramin we've already spoken about doing a mural of his restaurant wall. I went home did some rough sketches because Ramin has already seen my work in other restaurants, he likes likes it and knows my style. I wanted to give him a rough idea of what would be happening on his restaurant walls. Ramin, this is a photograph of your existing mural that was here when you bought the restaurant. My idea is to use the tiger and the Taj Mahal and get rid of the dancer in the border and do a complete painting all the way around the walls. It will look like from the point of people sitting in the restaurant it will look like they are looking out over India. These are rough pencil sketches, I'll show you this section first. We are utilizing the tiger and putting him on a hilltop and bringing the hilltop around in front of Taj Mahal extending the pools, putting mountains and rivers in the background. In the corner of the room I'm going to paint a mango tree and another tree on the other side of the room that will break that corner and make it all flow nicely. Specifically for this movie we are going to be filming on how to paint a mural, this section of the wall is the area that we'll be focusing on creating the grandfather tiger, with the mountains and rivers and lakes in the background. Then extending it out and using the tree here as a border for that, coming out to the edge of this tree and the edge of the wall just to show how we paint a section of the mural. At this point is there anything you specifically want me to do? I want this Taj Mahal to be more beautiful, more touching so that people will feel like they are sitting right in front of Taj Mahal eating dinner. So more detail than we have there? Exactly, get rid of all that stuff and make it more touchy, like people are sitting right in front of Taj Mahal. We can do that for sure. So then the idea of extending the mural all around the next wall. We are keeping this tiger, and painting a new tiger here. And I haven't put it on the sketch where I've got the idea of doing a baby tiger. I've kinda got this fun thing, three tigers here on the new wall for five tigers and I'm going to name them all after Indian food. So we are going to have Tikka, Masala, and the baby will be called Mango Chutney and here will be a grandfather tiger called Vindaloo and a teenager tiger called Papadon. We'll start with the mountains in the top corner. We have a river that comes down and breaks. This river goes all the way through the painting behind the Taj Mahal and all the way out. Here is where we start to create the ocean where it flows into. So that when people are looking at it, their eyes are lead by something. This idea of the tiger sitting on the hilltop of flowers all the way across. Then on this hilltop we'll have another mango tree with two Indian women grinding corn for bread surrounded by lots of baskets of spices and fruits. I will probably create another tree in this corner to again, kill the straightness of the border. Very nice blue sky, cloudy sky with the flowers all the way to the ground we don't want to do too much detail there, but if you ever wanted to move the tables there would be something there. So thats basically it, if you want me to go ahead and do that? Please do that, excellent. Thank you very much."
