Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

See, I'd like something that didn't blend in. Reproductions of famous artworks on the inner walls, candy stripes or spots, well painted famous quotes (not grafitti) - if you've got to have the damn things and they're never going to blend in if you paint them green, grey or even the optimistic sky blue why not make them stand out instead?

just plant ivy at the bottom and let it grow all over the bridge apart from the road of course but traffic would stop it spreading ontothe road , probably cheaper than painting or dying the concrete as well :)

Nice way to blend them in but one concern would be if the Ivy would affect the integrity of the concrete structure.

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

think they should paint them, though not bright colours granny! don,t forget many have bodies in, would be disrespectful.;)

That is definitely Street Art....Not Graffiti....and I like it!

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

what did you use to colour that bridge ?

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

A 6" paintbrush - it took me a week :rolleyes:

Selected the bridge in p-shop and just adjusted the hue/saturation to get the right colour

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

tell the truth it took you a week because it was colour by numbers :D

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?

Why was it raining?

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

yes but only underneath the bridge :)

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

how does it know whats bridge and whats not, I've never used paintshop it scares me. I used paint but got confused.

You select a "magic wand" tool and press the colour you want to highlight, you can change the sensitivity of it if it selects the shades you don't want, you also have a few buttons - select new, add, subtract and intersect

I have been trying for months how to delete the wrinkles from my photographs !! Seems determined not to co-operate. :(

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
 

Healing brush is the best tool for that
