Preliminary Sketches

Hard to believe but this was the drawing that caught Seth Hannemann's eye. He was stoked on the idea 

Here are some subsequent sketches that allowed for more ocean and wave riding.

This is more what the mural looks like now. We based a lot off of this sketch.

The Massive Wall- first phase

Ryan and I had never really painted a mural. In fact we both were students learning to paint. We didn't know how big three walls totaling 352.5 square feet was.  7.5 feet tall and 46 feet long. We had lots of help along the way and the Hannemann's were more than happy to take care of our needs and feed us some of the best food in all of Hawaii.

As you can see we drew a huge grid on the wall that helped us to transfer the drawing proportionately

A little help from friends-middle phase (underpainting)

Thanks Justin for you help

Kathleen Jung Clarke thanks for your help

Many people from BYUH and the community helped us paint large portions of the walls. It was a big project. thanks

Little by little things started to come together

The tones weren't quite right at first so brought in our painting instructor Matt Alisa for his help. Thanks for your help
