Nothing equals the excitement and splendor of walking into a child’s
room and seeing the walls adorned with a hand painted mural. Unfortunately,
hiring
a professional muralist can be very costly.
I’m going to teach you how you can do a professional mural for
your child’s room for less than half the cost you would pay a professional
for one days work. You will learn all the basics for putting the design
together, transferring the design to the wall, mixing the paint, and
finally painting the design mural on your wall. Last, but not least,
will be the reward of seeing the happiness reflected in your child’s
eyes at the finished project, and the rewards of having done this yourself.

CLASS I: As you will see, you do not have to know how to draw a thing!
The first step is deciding what to paint, or choosing the design elements… Where
to find them and what to do with them. Some examples: Trees, fences, sky, clouds,
sports, figures, underwater scene, cartoons, space, airplanes, animals, or
other. If you have something in mind that you know you want to paint you can
bring it to the first class. Next is learning how to put the design together.
We will review the material list and discuss preparing the wall. All your fears
will disappear after this first class.
CLASS II: We will be transferring the design to the wall to use as an example and hands
on training. Learn to mix paint you’re using without fear or fainting.
I’m going to teach you how to paint a sky, clouds, trees, and grass.
These are good warm ups for shaky hands. |
CLASS III: This is the class where we will be looking at everyone’s mural design
projected large on the wall. During this review time we will systematically
learn how to mix the colors and paint elements in the mural. We will not be
panting the murals to completion, but will pick portions of the design and
learn how to paint them. Each person will have the opportunity to participate.
CLASS IV: We will continue painting some of the mural elements from CLASS III.
This is the time to review what we have done. If there is any technique that
has not been covered that you would like to learn or review, then this is the
class to do it. I will go over a simple lesson about color theory and why you
should follow a few simple rules. I will show you how to apply a final clear
coat over your mural. Remember, I’m available by appointment if you need
any help, however, I’m convinced by the time you have finished this class
you will be a mural artist… Congratulations! |
