Photo 1 - Day 1 :Humble beginnings with a simple gray and white image. I begin most projects by blocking in basic shapes.

Photo 2: I've added some detail.


Photo 3: I have painted in more detail including some vague background elements (hills, snow). I've shortened his rather long cumbersome horn and started a castle (which will later disappear). The paint was still wet when I snapped the photo.

Photo 4: I have painted in more detail in the way of feathered legs, mane and tail. Castle begins to fade into the background.

Photo 5: I decided the snowy background was not very interesting and have begun painting a birch tree (left) and distant woods (right). Yes, the entire mural is still being worked on and further refined.

Other detailed photos of the unicorn's tail and legs can be seen below in an earlier entry.
