The upper part of the wall is the continuation of a tropical wall mural on the adjacent wall. I painted a parrot and some top leaves of palm trees which are complementing the other mural nicely.

The mural had been done all around the room and included the ceiling too.
The sand castle, dolphins, palm trees and an umbrella in the corner changed the baby room into a wonderful beach scene.
If you think that your child would like such a mural or something different, just visit my website and send me your information.
I am happy to help you with your mural project!
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

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.
