Artist of the Month Post #2 - Judith Ely

Next, I made numerous sketches to figure out what might work.  I sent the images of my ideas to Rex.  The first image was of the off white car wash wall with the darkened windows located at the lower part of it so that they could see the size of the mural they had requested in relation to the whole wall.  All was shown on that sketch in correct proportion to the finished mural wall.  That is very helpful to get certainty that the finished mural is exactly what is wanted.  
Then I finalized what they preferred in a sketch and created a painting by planning the appearance of the wall mural to match it, all the while sending images for color agreement and any small preferences at this point.
Thirdly, I prepared a contract and met with Rex to share it and be sure that all was agreeable.
