Close ups of a building wall mural

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

Across the country we see many very interesting and some quite technically difficult building murals - how does one do a grain silo 30+ metres / 100+ feet in the air safely and with little or no guidelines to follow? In this small western Victorian town of Balmoral was a beautiful wall mural - maybe 18-20m long x 5-6m high, and I was able to photograph it in some detail to show its construction

1)- the whole building and mural

2)- a partial of the overall image

3)- a closeup of part of the previous image

It appears that the artist/s created their backdrop via hundreds of "paint droppings" at the top creating dozens of vertical dribble-lines - and most of these were overlaying another layer of imagery installed via regular house-paint rollers. Over the top of the 'dribble' later then came other layers of detail, making up the overall - and somewhat amazing- imagery seen above

As always, feedback welcome

These photos are great Phil. Lots of colour and detail. Nice in #1 to give it some scale. They are very talented people who do these murals.
