- Step 3: Draw a grid over the photocopies using a ruler and thin marker. Measure carefully so that all photocopies are gridded identically.
- Step 4: Label the graphed columns on your photocopies horizontally with alphabetical letters and vertically with numbers.
- Step 5: Mount photocopies on cardboard to make them easier to work with.

- Step 1: Use your photocopy and grids to guide you as you chalk out a rough outline of the complete image you are painting on the pavement - just enough to map out the image and get the proportions correct.
- Step 2: Start from the top of the painting area and begin painting the image with the colored chalk.
- Step 3: Lay a foundation of color using your fingers in small areas and a chalkboard eraser for larger areas. - Step 4: Fill in the details of the image using various shades of colored chalk. Continue to blend colors to gain the right effect. Leave some chalk color unblended on the surface of the pavement to bring out colors, highlights and details.
- Step 5: Work your way down the area of your painting.
- Step 6: Remove the masking tape to reveal clean, crisp outlines.
