Project Overview
Kismet Collinsville, a unique gift shop in town, commissioned me to paint a mural for their storefront. The goal was to create an eye-catching piece that would attract customers and reflect the business's ethos. The design was centered around calendula flowers, which have a significant role in the herbal practice of one of the business partners, and convey a bright and lighthearted presence.
Design Process
The design process began with a sketch of the mural concept that incorporated the calendula flowers as the main element. The flowers were arranged in a way that created a sense of movement and flow, leading the viewer's eye across the mural.
Execution
Once the design was finalized, I began the process of painting the mural. I used high-quality acrylic paints and a variety of brush sizes to bring the design to life. The mural was painted directly onto the shop’s wall. With careful planning and attention to detail, I was able to execute the design with precision and accuracy.
Outcome
The finished mural was a vibrant and striking addition to Kismet Collinsville. The bright yellow and orange hues of the calendula flowers caught the attention of passersby and drew them in to explore the shop. The mural was well-received by the business owners and customers alike, who appreciated the unique and personalized touch it added to the space. Overall, it was a successful project that allowed me to showcase my artistic skills and collaborate with a local business.
