AURORA RAIL STATION


This is Linda's first water color project. She wanted to do a painting of the railroad station in Aurora on tile to hang above their basement entry. First she painted it on water color paper about 14 x 22. Then we scanned the image and stitched it in Photo stitch. We printed it out in sections and fitted it onto the tiles. (The tiles had been previously mounted to fit the area of the entry) Finally, we glazed it in clear acrylic gloss to bring out the color and protect the painting.  It turned out great, but it was not an overnight project!  Congratulation, Linda, on persevering. Most of my students choose a much simpler project to start. Plus she also has the original to frame and hang elsewhere.
