Urban Scrawl 9 (8/29-30, 2015)

I participated in Urban Scrawl for the first time. I worked for 2 days of this weekend in the scorching heat along with other 60 plus artists. The painting was the largest (4' x 8') I have ever tried in any medium. I worked in acrylic and the heat made the paint dry even faster (it didn't even take 2 minutes for the paint to dry after it was applied on the panel), so I too had to work fast with big brushs as well as other tools (sponges, sandpaper, etc.). Here are some snapshots I took as well as other photos other people took and I found on the internet.

This is how Saturday started.

This is my finished painting. I like the way her lower hand turned out. The parts of those birds (crows) have reflective metallic paint on them which is not quite visible in this photo unfortunately.

Would I do this again next year? Maybe... I just wish this event was in September when it gets a little cooler. But it was fun though.
