1st mural (WIP)

I never painted on a wall. I only know and have oil paints... I primed the wall with Kilz, then a few coats of acrylic gesso, then a coat of toned down gesso. This layer I did in student grade burnt umber, this layer is not complete

I don't remember the exact size and I'll edit it later, but 6' by 5'

Re: 1st mural (WIP)

Since I painted it in oils, should I varnish it as if it was a painting? The mural is in a garage.
