Yesterday the painting crew applied the first primer coat which is generally something close to the hue of the final paint. The second coat of paint is the first blend where we try the selected colours. It is most often much more of a pastel shade. This will be a purple/blue blend with a lighter-coloured belly. The final blend coat may be adjusted slightly and once that is dry the painting crew will begin using the glazes to bring out the textures and magic. The painting crew have determined the dragon is a she named ‘Celeste Siobhan’.
