Marwell Zoo Zany Zebra campaign 2016 Brazilian Zebra update 07

From the beginning of April I started work on my second Zebra painted sculpture. The campaign is run by Marwell Zoo and will see up to 47 of these Zebras on the streets of Southampton forming a street trail for the summer season. This 'Brazilian' Zebra of my design is sponsored by 'Casa Brazil' and as can be seen on the photographs some of the base layers of colours have been applied. The areas have masking tape around then to help keep the edges sharp and easy to paint, as these areas, using household emulsion paint, often need to be painted up to 3 times to get a solid colour on the white base of the Zebra. The back, large blue area also has a number of stars that will need to remain white so these have been masked off to keep them white while applying the blue paint with a large brush.
