MURAL SECRETS
Art Panels before and after! Mural Mosaics, designed by Lewis Lavoie, are made up of art panels painted by individual artists. The panel artists usually does not have any idea of what the overall mural image is going to be, this allows the artist to express himself freely and without being influence in any way. So wether the artist is painting part of an elbow or a piece of a cheek, they will not known until the mural is revealed in its final glory.
Mural artist Lewis Lavoie prepares the panels with an undercoat of paint which is used to guide and inspire the artist to create their own masterpiece!
Lewis usually assigns the panel with three possible classifications...
1.Solid
These panels are usually solid, and allow the artist the most freedom to paint without restrictions, as long as they used the primary color of the panel within their painting
