Lunch, 26 October 2012.

Looks like the material budget has been approved, so I hope we can start preparing the wall and painting within the next week or two

Beginning of a study for the 'beloved disciple' (thanks Grace)

A detail of the hall.

The budget has been approved and a start date - wall stripping next thursday 8 November

a rough design

This is a rough layout, obviously based on the da Vinci, but using the Mission hall as the reference for the interior rather than Leonardo's proto-brutalist cellar. This is only a guide to the way the figures will be laid out, it'll depend on who the characters are played by

a couple more drawings

 

another dining room scene. I'm wondering how to use some elements from the hall in composing the setting
