Courtroom Mural
This is the lobby of the company Personal Court Reporters in Van Nuys, greater Los Angeles.
Do you ask yourself if the connecting door to the old court room is real or not?
The old court room is after the court room of the “Whaley House” in San Diego - the authentic haunted house of the USA.

- 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.
