	Jungle Book Mural

	(showing painting process) Hand Painted Mural Date - April 2004 Location - Southgate Please scroll down the page to see the photos of the mural For this mural I have decided to show more of the actual painting process, to give more of an understanding of the work involved in creating a mural. The first pictures show the completed mural, then you will see how it actually came to be, from the early concept sketches, through the initial background colour washes, the working up of the background, the middle ground details, and finally the characters and foreground. I hope you find it an interesting insight into the creation process..

Incidently, you may have noticed that Shere Khan does not appear in the finished mural, we decided to leave him out as we thought he might be a bit scary for a newborn, for whom this mural was painted.
