Cask and Clyde Mural - Glasgow by Douglas Findlay Art in Glasgow

This mural is painted in the Double Tree Hilton Glasgow Central. It is located in the main stairwell leading from the carpark to the reception, bar and other rooms. It takes inspiration from landmarks around Glasgow, as well as the main colour scheme of the restaurant in the hotel called the Cask and Clyde. Before commencing work I met with the Director of Operations and the Food and Beverage Manager to discuss the feel of the work they required and so that I could tie the theme together with their hotel, restaurant and Glasgow. I created a sketch of my idea before it was approved. I generally used brushes to create this mural, as well as a small amount of spray paint. I wanted to create a piece that reflected the colours of Scotland. I particularly enjoyed painting the layers on the whisky barrel, the lettering and also the crane. It was also painted on an uneven surface.
