My first Mural WIP

Hi Ya'll!

This is my first mural! It is based on my old family home built in the 1800's.

Wow nice!!! Really opens up that space, too... the pics are a bit blurry and the poor gal in the tire swing is sideways, but I get the jist... how long did it take you, and what paints did you use?

Thanks for sharing!

Michelle, it took me 3 days but I had to work around patient cafeteria hours. I just used sherwin william paints. I just took pics on my Iphone. When I finish I will take great pics!!!

Keep it up! I know I am going to love it. You have a great start! Don't forget to add those highlights and deep shadows to give the painting punch.

Do acrylics darken? I put highlights and they seem to disappear!

You did a good job with this and it is there to keep a precious memory. I love the girl on the tire swing>

Yes, that is a major drawback with acrylics as they dry darker. Really good job!

I really like this. You did a great job for your first mural. Difficult I understand to do things to scale on such a large space. You used it perfectly and made a memorable painting to be enjoyed for many years.

I don't see alot of recent posts. Are you still doing murals -- and how is that going?
