The artist is creating a large vertical triptych mural for a boutique inn measuring 30 feet wide by 8 feet tall. They have decided to paint the mural on canvas rather than directly on the wall. The artist opens a heavy roll of canvas measuring 15 yards and trims it to size, hanging the canvas evenly with tape. They then use a grid and charcoal to sketch a scaled version of their design. The artist paints each section separately on the floor before rolling them up for installation.
