making the process easier


today we hung up one of the primed 12ftx18ft canvases. one of our leaders built a hanging system that was installed yesterday. and hooks were fashioned today to be able to hook into the grommit eyes on the canvas and set into the hanging racks on the wall.
our next step is to project outlines up onto the canvas, with overheads, of the images we will be painting. we will trace them with chalk. this will help to make it easier for the painting process (because we will be painting the canvases flat on the floor and it can be difficult to get correct perspective and placement from that angle).
remember...we have 3 of these panels to do. all 3 will create one large painting to be hung up behind the stage in the church sanctuary. we'll be painting them over the next few weeks.
