Happy and blessed afternoon Hive friends, how are you?

A few days ago I finished my first mural, and today I want to show you the process and result.
Hope you like.

He is Rolando Quero, he was my friend, he died a few weeks ago and I wanted to pay him homage, although I wasn't going to see him anymore because he wouldn't be there, the people who visit his gallery will be able to see who Rolando was.

I first made a bunch of "nonsense" lines for my sketch, but I actually took a photo of the wall with the lines and overlaid the reference photo.
and I lowered the opacity of the reference photo and then I made my sketch on the corresponding lines.

The paint I used was oil-based paint.

The technique I used was to apply a first layer of paint with the base colors and then detail using thinner to dilute the paint.

The mural took me almost 2 weeks, but I can say that the result was worth it.

I know there are many photos but the work was a lot, and I hope you liked it.

Thank you very much for your time...

See you guys ;)

Sort:  

in a large field it is very difficult to imprecise the illustration, but it looks so perfect, you are very talented. Good work

Thank you so much @deddywox

you are welcome

Eres un tremendo Artista 🎨 Te deseo todo el éxito del mundo ✨️❤️

Muchas gracias @lililuki, de todo corazon

This is fantastic! I never painted a mural with oil paints, just a car, which is pretty big, but now it seems to be a good option.
Is this your first mural? How did you like it?

Yeah... it's so fun paint a mural, you can do it
Yes, it was my first one
