"On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Carolyn Travisano and I'm here to show you about window murals. Okay, so we're at Sedoan Coffee Roasters and we're getting ready to paint the logo on their front window. Also I'm basically just laying down the color now and we're starting with the lightest colors first which is the gold and I'm also going to put it on the sun, but also around the edges well and it's a little bit different than what their original logo looks like, but we're just making it a little bit brighter so it's the first thing people see when they walk in the door. Start laying down the gold and it's a good idea to have an image or the logo here while you're painting so you can refer back to the colors and the design so you get as close to the original as possible. The idea of painting the Sedona Coffee Roasters is that they wanted a light and wincycle presentation when you walk in the door. So that's what this style that I'm using is very wincycle and fun, lots of golds. So we're just adding the gold right now and once this is dry we'll add another layer. Okay, so we're going back in and we're laying down a different shade of gold, I didn't really like the way that one turned out. So we're laying down the gold and I'm going to step outside for just a second to see how it looks on the other side. Once we get a second coat in there you won't see as many brush strokes as you do right now because you see the light coming through, but that's okay. It's a layering process so it's a little time consuming but worth the end results. Okay, so now that we have the golds laid down we're going to start adding their red rock color for the coffee pot part of the logo."
