William’s Answer

I started out painting walls in peoples homes. The transformation from painting a wall a different color was amazing to me, it looked so much better. It turned out to be a lifelong trade, and I got paid every Friday for it! It was a decent living as far as the money goes. Years go by and just putting a new color on the walls started to get boring. I started to learn about other painting techniques called Faux finishes. Faux is a French term for "fake." The techniques uses sponges and rags to apply colors over other colors. Painting became fun again! I started painting skies on ceilings, columns on walls, faux brick, wood graining, etc.. Painting murals became a passion until I saw a painting of a boy coming out of a painting, it was called, "Escaping Criticism". The artist was Pere Borrell del Caso. I realized I had never painted on a canvas, walls were my canvas. My interest in art evolved from there. I took a mail in course at Pittsburgh Institute of Art. I started to learn how to draw in ink and pencil using shading practices such as, cross hatching, and the light and dark of the pencil. I continue to make a living painting peoples homes and business but also sell my paintings.
Good luck Karen.

Ronald’s Answer

I have been in construction for 23 years now. And being an electrician I'm usually there from start to finish. So to me it's like watching something start as dirt and a empty piece of land and watch and help it grow into a living facility. Honestly to me the day we bring power to the building is such an awesome feeling of accomplishment and achievement that is second to none. This is a time lapse video of my last project maybe this will help you. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hi3iryyRAZVp8Byf6
