A guide for beginners on how to paint a mural wall

Obviously the first thing you must do is understand what painting on the wall. When I know what I want to paint, it usually happens to find different representations, photos, designs, for use as a reference, or go to a place to take some pictures that I can use as a template. For example, if I wanted to paint a seascape could drive around the area of the beach to look for objects or want to include in my painting of landscape. Most of the time I'm putting together a scene to create my mural.

Once you have what you need to form the first stage, the Fund is essential. I start at the top and work my way down. Thus established the sky in the first place, then on the horizon, where I can have mountains, trees, water or land. Then I have my background I am going to my other objects, such as people, vehicles, roads or whatever the topic. Sometimes coat of paint on these objects and sometimes use a projector before sharing the image on the wall, track, and then coat of paint. A projector is very useful to maintain the appropriate proportions and to assist in the placement of the object.

What medium that is used on a wall might wonder. Use a mixture of acrylic paint that can be purchased in any ship or store of art and also latex paint that you buy from a gallon in a painting or a hardware store. Clean with water, both of these means of dry quickly and easily. Acrylic paint fumes, also did not work well with him not to be missed during the process. Buy a gallon of brighter white paint mixing with acrylics. This extended the dollar, due to the purchase of small tubes of acrylic paint you can only add quickly, especially if it is to draw a large area.

Once you have completed the mural painting, I suggest a transparent polyeurothane of coatings that protect it. The search for a layer does not yellow with age. Clear layer allows the cleaning of dirty or fingerprints.
