'DANK' - Essex - Jan 2012, by Dan Kitchener on Jan 29, 2012 16:50:52 GMT 1, So today i thought I'd have a proper go at letters, this is really my second attempt, first was couple years back at Lakeside and it looked so crap I haven't uploaded it. Anyway really enjoyed painting this today, nice a free flowing, no plan, no sketch, just had a vague idea and wanted to see what happened, quite pleased with the result.

'DANK' - Essex - Jan 2012, by Sohoria on Feb 1, 2012 23:28:34 GMT 1, Have to ask the question... without a sketch how did you know what colors to use? Stupid question maybe but looks amazing. You must of had idea in mind how you wanted it to look or was it just seeing blank canvas and doing? I wish was young again and could ask few artists on here if they would train. Trail and error I guess after many years doing but I would be happy with what you have done. Like alot going to take first picture and put onto my phone  ...s

'DANK' - Essex - Jan 2012, by Dan Kitchener on Feb 15, 2012 8:55:43 GMT 1, thanks for the reply's
No idea of what colours really, i sketched it out freely on the wall with a grey can, which is what i usually use, then basically started to fill it with grays, white, then started using some mid greens to create swirls and realized using subtle gradients of green would create a nice depth effect, i guess this is experience, but it's quite intuitive for this kind of design, there doesn't need to be a plan or sketch as there's no right or wrong, nothing to compare it to to see any 'mistakes'
