Lemonade Anyone
Sign painting is an art all it's own. And why not, we have all tried the stencils from Office Depot and they never seem to turn out what we had envisioned. Kay Kropp is a scenic painter and artist for the studios. She seemed delighted to help. And so the day was set. We all agreed to go with a loose design, no hard lines, just the look of homemade and fun. First a chalk out line was drawn to create a plan. If a change is made, a little spritz of water erases the chalk to start over. Kay then pulled out her arsenal of artist brushes; a 5 gallon paint bucket filled to the outer edge looking more like some abstract flower blossom and a canvass wrap. Some square and wide, some small with only the tiniest tip, some round like a finger tip. They all had a purpose, they all work and so a brush was picked. First she laid down the creamy yellow lettering, and then followed up with a bright yellow outline. Washed the chalk away with a wet rag and the lemonade stand came to life.
