Painting!

Ezgi and I are painting one of the building’s walls at our project. The problem is Ezgi and I literally have no idea what we are doing. The walls condition is not great; it has a mural on it that is peeling away due to weather exposure and time. Ezgi and I spent a morning chipping away at a lot of the peeling paint, unfortunately when we put a new coat of paint over the existing paint more of the existing paint begins to peel and we have to undo our hard work. We have designed a mural of a sky with a large smiling sun in the center with henna like designs coming out, growing less dense as they reach the end of the wall. We went out and bought all the paint we needed with one of the guys that works at the center with us. When we returned from the store we realized the center had about one paint brush, so we turned around and went back to the store and bought tarps and brushes to paint. Since Ezgi and I do NOT know how to paint outdoor walls we really did not know what to buy, s we sort of guessed. Luckily it has not rained while we’ve been at project so we have been able to start painting. We put down most of the base color, which is a sky blue. Mere Mendosa is coming to help us paint the sun and detail work on the wall because she is a lot more artistic than Ezgi and I. Hopefully that goes well!
