Painted Shop Windows.

Over the last seven years I got to create and paint several windows for Escapade Fancy Dress.

Most of my visual merchandising dispalys and window are posted on my Visual Merchandising blog VisualMerchandising101. 

I will do a separate post on what I used and weather I think about it. But for now I thought it would be good to shear the work here on my art blog. 

The first window that I painted was in July 2013. From what I remember that year a lot festivals and party's were nautical or pirate related which resulted in the boat. 

This was painted using chalk makers.

The Bestival festival (September 2013) theme was 'Nautical'. The costumes were all chosen to inspire ideas for the event. 

The semi circles in green and blue along the bottom are art deco inspired waves and the blue semi circles along the top is the sky. I decided not to paint white clouds as I wanted to keep it to just two colours.

2014 windows had a simaler style with Hearts for Vanitines day, and Shame rocks for St. Patricks day with the shapes framing the window and directing your attention more to the mannequins.

The Peace and Love window was again inspired my a festival theme.

Peace signs, hearts and flowers had to make an appearance.

September brought with it the Isle of White Bestival Festival its theme for 2014 was "Desert Island Disco."

So in the spirit of festival fancy dress, this inspired the window.

With palm trees to frame the window on their own little Islands. 

You can't really Go wrong with a comic book window. I used the Grand Heritage  Costumes, which are higher end line and created a 1960s inspierd design. using the cabinet to create a the 

'Welcome To Gotham City' sign. and the clouds painted on the main window.

With the cinema release of Avengers, Age of Ultron in April (21st) 2015.

Three of the Avengers made an appearance their logs painted on the window.

I will posting two more posts with other windows that painted. and a post on the products that I used.

Till then happy creating.
