Our second day at Pump N Grind. Our main task was to get the mural done so we got started as soon as we got there. As a lot of the shapes on my illustration included straight lines, we used masking tape around each area of the colour we were using. We also quickly realised it would be super helpful to have a mini paint roller, so I quickly popped to the mini hardware shop down the road and picked one up; this ended up being a life-saver and sped up the process a lot!
We were pretty rapid at filling in the bits between the masking tape, though it was slightly more difficult getting the curved lines as neat as we wanted them. Again, we definitely underestimated how long this was going to take, and as the day was coming to an end we realised we'd need to spend another day completing it; even though we're both pretty busy with deadlines coming up, I think we were both secretly happy to have another day painting, it's not really something you get to do everyday and it's quite relaxing. Also the cafe has a really laid-back vibe so it's a nice place to spend time; plus free drinks!
