New York City *Amazing HUGE Hand Painted Murals... How Do They Do It???

Sarah Jessica Parker
10 stories high..
and all Hand Painted on the side of
a building???



Being a Mural Artist Myself I know what it entails
to hand-paint a mural.. a large mural..
Not to mention a Colossal Mural!!
Our Our Guide Kate pointed out to us
that she sees during her many runs
Murals go up in a flash..

Hanging from scaffolding high in the sky
these murals go up and are painted over regularly.
How Do they do it.. I was able to catch a crew going
over an old mural preparing
to paint a new one over it..

How do they paint Jaguars, Movie ads,
Beverage promo all by hand in such
perfection and so quickly???
My hats off to these artists..
I would love to know their secrets!!
Obviously they cant project the image on...
they cant use the grid system..
If you can give me insight as to How they do it..
Please enlighten Me..





New York City* A Pleasant Surprise * Great Eats * Friendly People
