I think the best approach would be to start with the base layer first and then build up from there. You want to make sure the foundation is solid before adding any decorative elements. I usually sketch out the proportions on paper first just to get a sense of the spacing. Then I transfer it to the actual surface and work in stages. The drying time between layers is important so don't rush that part. If you need to adjust the color intensity you can always add more pigment gradually. Let me know if you want me to walk through the steps in more detail. I have some reference images I could share as well. The whole process takes a bit of patience but the result is worth it. Just make sure your workspace has good lighting and ventilation. I find that working in natural light helps with color matching.

Thanks for taking a moment to review this offer.
We could meet up around mid-afternoon on Thursday if that works for everyone. The venue usually is not too crowded during that time and we would have plenty of space to spread out and work. I will bring the materials I mentioned last week along with some extra supplies in case anyone forgets theirs. The project should take roughly two hours depending on how detailed everyone wants to get. I will send a map to the parking area since the entrance can be a bit tricky to find on the first visit. Feel free to bring snacks or drinks if you want. Let me know if Thursday works or if we should look at Friday instead. I think the lighting in that room is good for detailed work and the tables are large enough for everyone.
