In Phoenix the curbs are sloped and white blocks with numbers are added to help Police, Fire and Emergency crews locate homes. They are B O R I N G!
So here you go with a new Garden Art lesson...create something that shows your love of gardening, that introduces visitors to the fact that there is a delightful world of color waiting for them as they travel your property. If you don't have curbs, you could do the same on large rocks, cement blocks or any kind of wood or metal.
First, scrape off the peeling paint with a wire brush. I even had to use a chisel on this one.
Next, assemble all of your paint. I also used an umbrella with a stand to shade me from the sun. I use all kinds of paints: acrylic, exterior, patio paint. The white is exterior paint that reflects in the night.
Add some leaves or the background of your design.
And then add your flowers. I just freehand these...they are painted on rough cement so fine details just isn't going to happen.
