The wall sign was created by spraying sheet plastic bricks with a brick red aerosol. Using the photo as a guide, I created the Noilly Prat sign on the computer and printed it. I taped the paper to the bricks along the top edge and traced the text using white Saral paper. The tape at the top allowed me to check my progress by lifting the paper as needed. I hand painted the complete sign using acrylics and randomly dabbed on the gel. I sprayed a second coat of brick color enamel. The gel was then scrubbed with a stiff art brush. This is one variation of the process because it would not have been practical to hand paint the sign neatly over the gel. I touched up the wall colors with a small brush until I achieved the look I was after. I washed the wall with dark gray to force the shadows between the bricks and the wall was complete.
