Italy Tuscany Mural

: 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 an extra space which is creating the illusion of being able to walk outside.

You don’t need to be an Italy fan for such a mural. It can be done in less than 2 weeks.

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.

Mural with Roses – The perfect Nursery Mural

Nursery Mural

Karyssa’s bed is surrounded by many roses and butterflies – this romantic nursery mural is located in Granada Hills and I did it for a young couple who expected their first baby.

The name sign is hand painted; the roses are rather old fashioned and would also fit as well into a French country styled home.

The alternative to wall paper: Hand painted wall paper with roses, if you like floral art and want to add something special to your home.

Asian Mural for Diningroom or bathroom

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:51:11 +0000

Do you like the Asian style of interior design? I did this Bamboo Mural for a dining room and it made such a big difference. My client had many Asian accents in her home and the Bamboo wall made the dining room look perfect. Such a mural can be in a hallway or living room as well as in a bathroom. In fact it looks like hand painted wall paper and such a look adds some sophisticated touch to the space.

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.
