Once in Bucharest there was a tea house called Joie De Vivre (Joy of life). It had a sad blind wall closing it's yard and needed help making it happier. That's where I appeared :)

First steps were to see the compositions in my mind, draw them on paper and scale them.

Sketches on photos, a few compositions with surfaces to be painted, measurements and notes.

4 compositions that present happy moments in ones life: sketching, outline and colour fill.

First day - chalk drawing and outline of composition

Second day - fill in the gaps

Third day - add final details and gradients

This is how the pictures I painted looked at the end. I like the cartoonish side and also the contrast :)

4 windows are now ready to be admired while drinking tea or lemonade outside.
