Mural in Kids Room |
Designer: Cindy Chinn
Artist: Cindy Chinn
Date: Jan-Feb 2011
|
This is the first of 2 murals to go in kids rooms in a home in Lincoln Nebraska. This features a 'surfer dude' theme and will incorporate 3D elements as well. The mural will be painted on canvas and installed on the wall above the wainscoting. |
COMPLETED! |
The colors on the website are not 100% accurate - due to the lighting in the room, the size of the mural and lack of space around the mural, getting perfect colors is a chore - also, there are some reflections to deal with. |
Final photo - 2/28/11 - click here to see a full image - keep scrolling to see the progress from start to finish. |

Below is a conceptual mockup of the design

Installed and waiting for the work in the room to be completed. |
 |
The painting has begun! - Cindy has the sky done as well as some trees, and is now blocking in the water. |
|
Now Cindy's built a beach hut and put out some surfboards |
 |
More progress! |
|
Palm trees have sprouted up out of nowhere! |
 |
The left side is starting to come together now (sorry for the glare!). |
 |
The right side has some sketches on it and is ready for paint! |
 |
Cindy painted a palm tree last night |
 |
Hey Cindy! Are the palm trees done yet? |

 |
Here's the right side of the mural. |
 |
ok, there's a little bit of glare on the photo...BUT! the right side is ALMOST complete, just some shadows to do and the legs on the chair to finish up... as long as Cindy can keep those small brushes out of her hand, she can move on!
Cindy finalizes the right side of the mural and moves over to the left. |
 |
Cindy has the small brushes out in force today! Each surfer is about 1" tall in the mural, but the detail is still there!
Gretchen: Cindy promises that she'll finish one day!! Remeber what I said about, "Cindy will put more detail in on a canvas that she paints at home."? |
 |
More work on the beach hut. |
|
Cindy has painted the palm trees in front of the surfers. |
 |
Surfboards are in, and almost the bike |
