Outdoor Underwater Mural – creates a special effect!

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.

Jungle Door Mural

: 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!

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.

Italian Landscape Mural in Old World style

: Pomegranate tree

This pomegranate tree is part of a big 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, subtle colors and fading. It reminds of the Da Vinci times when the world was calmer and more relaxed.

Greek Wall Mural for the Backyard

: Greek Mural

This is a wall of a garage which was white. My clients did some very nice landscaping and added a pavilion tent which looked very good with the typical Greek colors blue and white.

It is a typical Greek setting that you will find on very many Greek islands. If you are a fan of Greece and have a backyard wall you will like this wall mural.

How to make a room look bigger

Choose a templateFor the bathroom I got a picture (in this case from the Interior Designer) and I used it as a template; it was a tropical scene which the client liked a lot.
Step 2
Make the draft (design)

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.
