… and, Chris, the one in Brunswick. You did a mural there, too, correct?
THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING.
Wonderful. It will leave a legacy of you-ness, too.
Unfortunately no Woodstock this year. The major construction downtown made logistic too difficult…but we hope to come back with a splash for woodstock 2019.
The type of paint for outside murals partly depends on what you are painting on. I have outside murals using Golden Acrylics–the colors rated of outside use– (https://www.goldenpaints.com/technicalinfo/technicalinfo_murals). Using these painted on 100% polyester canvas. Fredrix has a tough version.
Right now I am working on one using another fabric, Polytab (PT20R Polytab,) a non-woven synthetic. With Golden acrylics and Nova Color paints. This will be glued to a brick wall. This is the “canvas” used in so many of the Philadelphia murals. Look up Polytab method or Parachute Cloth method for murals.
I also have some painted on Alumilite panels. Basically signage panels, kind of like aluminum “plywood”. Tow sheets of aluminum with a plastic waffle core. Very light, tough and with an enamel surface to take paint–NEEDS TO BE SANDED before use! On these panels i used 1Shot sign painter enamels. Very tough and lasting very well up here in our Maine weather. (I have test panels outside as well, using Golden acrylics and so far holding up jsut fine after 1 1/2 years.
