My student, Robby Houghton, a young man with Autism / special needs, who had his mural design approved by the Pleasanton Arts Commission and City Council has begun work on his mural.  

Here are the first few pictures of his progress:





Robby worked hard prepping the utility box with 1 to 3 layers of gesso and applying the first layers of heavy-body acrylic paint.  He started creating the impressionist-style painting in the sky, and it is looking beautiful!  

Great work, Robby!
