Kathy! At present we are trying to bring "old dogs" to them to teach them something!
Eli! Our school in Canada and now we are working on development "Stick man painting course. Level I". Soon will post some pics.
Elena. Mural can be painted in acrilics and than, on top of acrilics, you can make some improvements by artistic oils. Not vice versa though.
Some pics on floor painting:

Great Vitali, sign me up for Stickman Level 1 for a refresher - followed by the advanced level 2 masters coarse including the use of #2 lead pencils!
Then I want to I want to learn how to draw a fish and then water.
And on a side note, does the cafeteria serve fried chicken? just kidding!
Your school looks fascinating, wow what it must feel like to watch the birth of masters in the field.
Ok now for the serious question, the marbling of the fluted column, when I marble the flutes are a pain! Can ya help a young (well not really so young)guy out and give me a hint on how to make my badger dip when I dip! As a song once said???
And thank you for your post they are inspiring!

Eli, you very welcome!
As in regard of fluted pillar - for my shame I should mention that (despite of the song) badger was never there - sponge, artistic brushes and square stippler.

Ahhhhhhhhhh ha! Makes perfect sense. I used to explode my postive (rag on) with a large stippler by stomping immediately after a pounce of the positive glaze. You have solved a mystery for me. Perfect now I have more time to work on my stickman! Your the best!
So do we get to see the Totem??

Quick "cut & run" stencil job in restaurant: big copy of design (provided by owner) was prepared and cut colour by colour right on the floor.

Beardofstars,
You say you took a class...government supported? Please, do tell. I'm sure many of us would like to hear about that.
Vitali, lovely work. You should be proud.
