Challenge 1124: Finish the mural
I saw this artist mid-way through painting a mural on some building hoardings in La Rochelle recently. I'm off there again this weekend. Can you show me how it might look when it's finished?

High res is here.

It was wasn't till I downloaded the large that I saw the outlines.

Something tells me you're hoping for more than just playing colouring book ............

Re: Challenge 1124: Finish the mural
Silly quickie. I am as out of inspiration this week as I was full of it last.

Colour by number is very much a digital thing nowadays but when I as a lad in the fifties it was called “Painting by Numbers”. It came in a kit with numbered outline drawings on canvas textured paper, brushes and a full set of numbered paint pots.



AI declaration: AI was used to extract the bold outlines from the faint lines in the original.

Ben. The minute I saw yours my first thought was Florence Sur Mer

This is a totally AI generated image due to being on road with only my phone but I am sure some of you will know the artist.

I remember it well... when it comes to painting, I still need a kit today.

Now that take on Escher is interesting Ben. I was just about to start on an out of bounds image too. But not nearly as clever ...........

A bloke we are all quite familiar with ........ or, since he's a bit of a grammar stickler, with whom we are all quite familiar.

I cant get my images to embed at all! If it doesn't show click the link, that seems to work.

Works on iPad but not Windows PC... clicking the link on the PC does not work either. More strange issues lately than ever in the past.

EDIT - It's working this morning...

Hold that Tiger...!! I was focused on the issues of images showing up or not and forgot to say that the 'out of bounds' entry is quite a fun one.
