- Tuscany Mural
This beautiful mural was done for a showroom in a furniture store in the basement . There were no windows and the Tuscan Mural brought some light and life to the space.
Basically every room which is dark, has only small windows or is too small can be lightened up with a mural.
The faux finished arch and the balcony create extra space which make you feel steping out.
You don’t need to be an Italy fan for such a mural. Â It can be done in less than 2 weeks and will cost you $2700. What a deal for a daily view!

 Do you have a concrete wall in the backyard or in the front of your home or office? It can become an eye-catcher with a mural.
Like this underwater mural with cartoonish water creatures.  When we did this mural – it was by the way my first mural, yep, it all started with this one - people who walked by stopped and were very impressed by the created effect.
I did this mural more than 10 years ago and when I saw it 5 years ago it the colors were shiny and vibrant like after completion.

- Tropical Rainforest
I did this mural on a door which was the entracne to a store. The store sold reptile food and all kind of exotic animals.
As you can see the entrance is completely covered by the mural. Even the door handle is included; a scorpion sits on it.
Quite a while after the mural was finished, there was a robbery nearby and several stores got broken into. Not the one whith the mural though. The robbers could not see the entrance! Â
That’s how a mural can get also some functional purpose. If you like a mural for your commercial space call 818 470 2932 for an estimate.

- Pomme granate tree
This pommegranate tree is part of abig mural in the hallway of a Bel Air residence.
It was done completely in Old World style, featuring an Italian landscape, trees, cypresses, lemons, grapes and flowers.
The background is like a faux finish, sublte colors and fading. It reminds of the Da Vinci times when the world was calmer and more relaxed.

You can do a little drawing or use your painting computer programs such as Photoshop. I always take a picture of the blank wall and copy and paste the mural elements into the photograph. For the tropical mural I took some elements of the photo and combined them with other ideas like hibiscus flowers, tropical plants and so on.
I will show you a detailled draft in my next article.
Step 3
Paint the mural
If the mural needs a light coating you would do this first. For the tropical landscape I used a white surface because of the different colors (sky and forest)
Then you do the outlines; I use charcoal – I would not recommend pencil or any other paint.
Fill in hte background colors for the sky and forest, so a foliage green and sky blue which I . Use light colors and systematically add the details. You can do them freehand or project them. For this mural I used the projector only for the plant named bird of paradise in the right corner.
Step 4
The mural’s details would be added at the end, some highlights, deeper tones and little lines here and there. It has to come alive.
After it was finished I sealed the mural with a matt finish to protect it from moisture.
