Coastal Stories Mural Project

Here’s the Layout process for the Coastal Stories mural project in Guadalupe, CA. I created a photoshop mock-up and a hand drawn sketch to 1” scale. I snap a 1’ grid and draw in the elements from my sketch and refer to the mock up for the detailed photos. I’m painting a lot of portraits in this mural, so I’m using photographic references.

You’ll see strawberries, steelhead, white pelicans and a Guadalupe baseball team coached by mentor Joe Harris.

The Coastal Stories mural project is commissioned by the Dunes Center and Coastal Consersancy for Guadalupe, CA. It is converted by PBS (see link in comment) Giving voice to underrepresented communities from the Chumash to the Mixtecs. #guadalupe #mural
