- 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. It can be done in less than 2 weeks and will cost you $2700. What a deal for a daily view!

The bird’s nest is a sweet feature for a children’s bedroom, a nursery or any room in a home which is decorated in Country style.

Mural for a restaurant
The restaurant had a small and long room which they used for private parties but it was not booked as it should.
The wall where you see the mural is a foldable door which is connected to the main room of the restaurant.
We faux finished this wall and decided a window mural would make the room look bigger. And it did it. The result was that they could use this room more often and the mural costs were amortized very fast.
Think about it! Call 818-470 2932

This is a wall of a garage which was white. My clients did some very nice land scaping and added a pavillion tent which looked very good with the typical Greek colors blue and white.
It is a typical Greek setting that you fnd on very many islands of Greece.

- Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest Hollywood Stars. At a time when sound was not an option in the movies, and where black and white were the only colors, his artistic abilities were indeed outstanding.
It was an honor and a pleasure to paint him in life size as a mural amongst other Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.
The mural is from a scene of the movie “Goldrush”. I am not sure if this is the movie where he ate a sole of a shoe instead of a steak…?
If you like some of your Hollywood stars painted on the walls, send me an email
or go to www.artcomm.us
It is a great addition for a game room or office spaces.

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.

Antique scroll Mural
This is a hand painted antique scroll on papyrus. The paper is not real paper, I faux finished the texture, so it is all painted! My client gave me some quotes she liked which were rounding up the whole mural.
The mural is in the entry way on a wall which connects kitchen and living room.
