“Angel” Mural I Painted on a wall in a villa in Spain (and a few progress steps)

Hi all 😊

I wanted to show you the angel I painted on a bedroom wall of a large villa for a client, Reggie Gambier, here in Spain. 150 x 185 cm.
He lives in the UK and has there in his garden a statue he loves very much. (I don’t know the creator of this bronze statute, but all kudos to him/her. The owner said there are no markings that points to the creator on the statue, but he concluded it looked like made in China and is probably a mass produced statue.)
He asked me if I could paint it on a bedroom wall from his holiday home.
Of course, I can do that 😉

So I went to this villa and painted the mural. It is rather large…

I finished this painting / mural in 02-2016 and it is one of my earlier murals. Hope I did it justice😊
I started my art in 2011, and I am self taught. I love to share my progress steps with the world.

These are the photographs from the owner, I used to work from. (I have permission to use them, as also the steps and finished photos of the artwork, in my art promotion and media online)

Thought I include this photo of the statue during an icy day. As it looked really cool.

~The Dimensions of the finished painted angel on the wall are 150 x 185 cm
~Underground is the wall and it was in good condition for me to start painting on after a wash. The structure is rough though.
~I used metallic (coloured) paints in a few bronze shades as it needed to resemble his statue.
~techniques used; painting with normal brushes.

Here are a few step by step photos/ SBS’s, Enjoy 😊
Step 1

Me painting the first layers… photo made by the client.

Step 2

This was later in the day, a little dark, so the photo is grainy.

Step 3

Little detail, work in progress. Building up the depth more with many layers to give it a rounded feel.

Step 4

More layers added.

Step 5 finished:

Here you see the finished painting.
If you look closely to the top of the cabinet, it looks like she is floating above it in the middle.

A Real 3D Look!

The client thought so too, he said; “It looks like she floats!”

Without the cabinet in the photo… yes, it looks almost 3D, even now 😎

Thank you for looking and reading. I hope you enjoyed these few Step by Steps of this painting on a wall in Salobreña, Spain.

With my future new artworks, I will make a more detailed step by step for you 😉

Any questions or comments, let me know. Always happy to help 😊 and talk about art.

Have a great day all 😎👋🏻
