FINISHED! Earth Seen From Space Shuttle Windows

SOLD

Each square of the triptych is 27" x 27" painted with acrylic on 3/4" MDF board.

Note the rounded corners, see recent post on how to draw and cut rounded corners.

I was commissioned to create a space mural for a two year old boy's room. The client will be moving in a few years and wanted a mural that could go with them. Painting on wood or canvas and installing it on the client's wall is a great alternative to painting the mural directly on the wall.

Please Email Me if you are interested commissioning a hanging mural.

How to Prevent Paint from Seeping under Taped off area

Paint a clear gel on the tape seam.  Paint the color of your choice once the gel has dried. 

Measuring for Rounded Corners

I went to the local Home Depot and had them cut three 27" x 27" squares from a sheet of 3/4" MDF board.  The sheet was about  $30.  There was some wood left over from the cut sheet for other projects.

To make rounded corners I measured 3" in from corner, drew a perpendicular line at that point using my T-square, and then placed the saucer at designated measured points and drew the curved corner.

Before cutting the corners, clamp the wood to a table, making sure the area you are cutting is positioned away from the edge of the table, leaving you enough room to cut without cutting into the table.  Using a jigsaw, I lined up the blade with the 3" mark and started on low power, increasing power as I went.
