Zapotec Rug
Original Concept Design ©
by Hilary Wootton
Commissioned by Juan of Juan A Salon
First, we had the floor sanded down to create a fresh painting surface.
Then color mixing and vacuuming debris that could settle into the paint.
Next, I painted the base coat, which I mixed with gesso to prime the surface.
Once the base coat was dry, I was ready to draw out the design.
And started applying color...
Creating texture for realism.
Final outlining of the design.
And the final painting step.
After all the painting was complete, we had the floor stained and varnished to protect the mural.
