Article Description. Should include author, brief description, issue number and page number(s).
use to paint windows.
* A couple of tarps. One to lay on the ground under window and one to lay under your paints. It keeps thingsclean. This can be a messy job. I have failed to do this in the past and you can see the results on the tailgate of my truck.
* 3” sponge rollers (Larger for huge showroom windows)
===== 1. Design concept =====
Speak with the client about what their
needs are and what they are promoting.
===== 2. Laying out design on window =====
This is when you will tape off straight
lines if needed and sketch your design
=====3. White base layout=====
The whole design is laid out with a white base color. This separates
the amateur from the professional. Without a white base,
warmer months, allowing me to continue right away with color.
=====4. Shades and highlights=====
All my color is painted with a 3” roller. This gives the window
a smooth clean look. I add depth by rolling on a light blue
=====5. It’s color time=====
Time to start applying color with the 3” roller over the white base.
Paint colors one at a time until all the colors are on. Be careful
dimensional look. For an even more finished look, I sometimes
add a white contour outline around the whole image.
=====6. Outlining and Detail=====
The final step is outlining and detail. This is usually done
with black paint, although I have gotten creative and used
blue or white. Generally, black is the best choice for this
step. The design is all outlined with black using a sponge
brush cut to desired thickness. This gives it a finished look.
Using a liner paint brush, I create expressive faces on my
characters to give them personality.
=====7. Optional Detail=====
For an added touch to make your
window pop, you can add a white
contour outline around the image.
Don’t forget to sign it and put
your contact phone number on to
get future work.
This is another fun and lucrative
way to make money using
your skills as a caricature artist
to bring your windows to life.
Holiday windows are the most
fun and best way to get started.
Now kick up your heels and paint
the town!
