This was a fun and unique project. Stairways are an excellent place for a mural, as they are difficult to decorate with paintings and pictures, and the less straightforward shape lends itself to something more organic looking. These clients wanted something that could not be confused with wallpaper, so we opted to show all of the steps between sketch and finished painting; for the first time leaving some areas as a pencil sketch (though not something I actually do!) In the end, it looks like a beautiful botanical/garden layout map in progress.
