white_oleander: (the thinker)
Having given the whitewash time to dry and only having the one class that day, Astrid was ready to set to work on her new mural proper, spending the morning mixing up some of the colors she wanted to use and getting that first base down, layering all the reds and yellows and oranges to imitate the watercolors she'd done of the sunsets in Kenya. Usually, she just painted the one wall, but, for this one, she'd decided to let streaks of it bleed into the adjacent walls, like little whisps and trendrils, like it wanted to spread to the entire room, but just didn't have the power or energy to make it very far. But it made it enough that it sort of felt she'd be wrapped a little in sunset as she slept.

And when she was finished with class, hopefulyl the base would have dried enough that she could start deepening the colors even further and adding the shadows of the landscape below as well, so it would definitely be a whole-day project, but Astrid honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend a day than this, anyway.

She wasn't quite sure if it would be her final mural, or if she'd come up with something good to put up right after graduation, but, if it did end up being the last one, she had to admit, it was a rather nice one.
