After the scaffolding was installed, CITYarts interns, Michelle, the two artists and young enthusiastic volunteers started the prime work for the mural. Before we began to sketch and paint, we needed to smooth the rugged pieces and make the surface of the wall even. So we sanded the wall and then painted it white. 3 to 4 people as a team went to the each floor and worked on each part. Some used the rollers and the others used the brushes to paint where the roller couldn’t touch. It is such a huge wall and rough, it takes long time to finish the ground work. Once we painted the whole wall, we repainted it and retouched the cracks elaborately. Because of the hot weather, we sweat a lot and got tired easily. Therefore we have to drink enough water and take a rest every hour, while working on the mural. Remember!
