Guildhall Museum - More preparations
This morning we prepared the boards for the scenic art to go next to the Kits Coty installation at the museum. The painting will be 8' square in two panels. First we button polished the wood to seal it on both sides. After that it was painted white ready to have the drawing sketched out on it.
