Dit is een ding om ‘n kwas te vat en op ‘n canvass te skilder, maar heeltemal ‘n ander ding om GROOT te skilder. Ek verstom my aan diesulkes se kunstigheid.

Ek stem saam met jou! Ek onthou toe ons konserte gehou het en die agtergrond moes verf! Dis glad nie so maklik nie!

I can see why Sarah found the last one disquieting. Is the fencer on the right missing a head? That would make it difficult to continue. Or maybe he is an alien with a different type of head. I think I’d need a closer look at that one. The first one is self-explanatory and requires much less thinking to enjoy it. Street art has such amazing variety. Thanks for sharing these photos, Aletta. Very enjoyable. 🙂

Thank you so much Marsha! I just find it so fascinating that they can paint on such a big scale! I battle to fill a little canvas! 🙄

I agree with you, Aletta. I had my students draw a huge map of California on the floor. Each of them got a corner which they traced from a map. Then they each took a 3 foot by 3 foot square and reproduced that shape. When all the squares fit together, the map was complete and looked perfect. They might do something like that. Who knows? It is a work of art – for sure. 🙂

That must have been quite a project! Perhaps it is what they do!

It’s hard to know. I watched some spray paint artist working and wrote a post about it. They just sprayed – no preplanning. I’ve also seen artists that sketch out the drawing, and then a multitude of others help them paint it. That’s how our murals at the Prescott Library were done.

Straatkuns is al hoe meer aan die toeneem. Soms is dit ‘n baie groot “doek” wat kunstenaars gebruik om hulle sketse te maak … dit moet verseker baie tyd vereis om so iets te kan doen!

Ek kan myself nie eens indink hoe hulle dit doen nie! So ongelooflik groot
