The murals used six different
shades of gray (white to black)
along with the school color red.
Glass and Mother of Pearl chips
were used to accentuate
richness in tone. Each color
was painstakingly poured into
its assigned area, creating
stunningly detailed images of
facial shading, fabrics, crowd,
and depth.
