Halloween Window Splash

Deroche General Store

My first window splash was for Deroche General Store. I pitched the idea to the store owner since I created in-store signage for the store in the past

Painting Process

The project came together quickly, I created a pencil sketch first and then moved to the computer for final visualization. The design was approved, and the next step was a list of supplies and costs for materials. I researched online and in-store and found what I needed to make the project successful. I find that if you can plan in advance and stay fluid at the same time, it all works out.

For the lettering and imagery, I created pounce patterns on large format paper and measured the distance around the windows for a perfect fit.

The weather for the two days was perfect, and the window was situated under a canopy overhang, which provided shade from the sun. The first step was cleaning and prepping, along with measuring and taping up the pounce patterns onto the windows. After that, most of the day was spent priming the text and imagery. The second day was adding more paint (colour) and working on adding layers and detail to the artwork. Over the two days, the public (customers) were very nice and stopped to say hello and comment during the progression.
