I like how you stress the prep time! some people do not bother with this and have so much more work just cleaning up after themselves! So very sweet too!
Thank you for making this! Getting started planning a mural to paint at my high school with our art club!! This is a lot of useful info I might not have thought of
Super help! I am going to be presenting some of my work to my local city rec department and hopefully painting around town (commissioned!) I WAS nervous until I watched this, now I am fairly confident and i dare say excited! Thanks for the assist!
My 2nd graders just watched your video on making a mural and thought it was cool, and Christopher asked if you could make more mural videos on how to be good at it. Another one of my students, Richard, is asking about if you do comic art murals as well. Josiah wants to say that the video was beautiful and he really liked the mural. Thank you for such an informative and enjoyable video.
Thank you! Great work and information for the second time of doing a Mural. I'll be doing something a little more and right away I see that I can learn to do better from you. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you work and teach
This is great. Thank you so much. I would love to see a slowed down version of the part where you attach the wooden beams to the wall. Did you just drill them in?
Yes I do. It's hard because its corrugated but the larger you able to paint the image the less details gets lost in the corrugation. also the primer made for metal is good to prime it with. to start
One thing that is helping me the most from this video is stopping to see you stopping to see the wall. It's ok for me to take a break and asses my next move. I gotta step back to see the bigger picture!
💜 HELLOO! A NEWBIE Mural Artist here....r🤩AWESOME VIDEO AND AWESOME WORK!!! QUESTIONS ? ... WHICH measuring APP do you use? Is an IPAD essential for my murals?? does this save TIME? i am in the middle of my FIRST EVER MURAL and ... its TAKING FOREVER! ...
The measuring app is the one that come preset on Iphone now. its really helpful. All mural will take some time. I learned that the more prep you do the easier it is during the installation.
I love your art! I’ll be starting a mural by myself for the first time next week and I was hoping you could tell me what type of acrylic paints do you use? I plan on using latex interior paint for the background, but have yet to find the right (but also cost efficient) acrylic paint that would be in budget but also work very well on a wall. My michaels didn’t have a lot of options larger than 8oz. They had Decoart Americana, Folkart, and craft smart, but I’ve never used any of those brands before and I’m not sure how they would do on a wall (interior). If you have any acrylic paint recommendations please send them my way! It’d be greatly appreciated❤
How did you find the pesticide sprayer/ the clean up of it? I just picked one up and wanted to know if it will last multiple uses using paint. Keep killing it!!!
its easy to clean if you clean it right afterwards (Use hot water). Its actually pretty pun to use. You'll have to water down some of the paints to do it those.
I very much want to do this for a career, I draw allot but don't have a lot of painting experience yet or murals, any advice? Also what is the college course to learn this like?
I would say to watch a lot of the murals 101 and advice playlist. i throw a lot of advice in those videos. I also wrote a book for having a lasting art career.
@@iamdetour Oh thankyou, deffnitly want to see what that book is about I also watxh some more videos about murals, I still need to practice painting as well
Beautiful! Love the colors, and dimensions! I’m working up the courage to do a mural or two in my home-never painted one! One question: do you wear a mask while spraypainting?
Amazing to see the process here. Really cool. Are all of your abstract projects as open as this in terms of prep of the image? It seemed like your mockup was pretty loose. The the client want to see a "finished' digital mockup before you started? Or do you just give them a general sense of what you're doing?
because most clients now my work well, I can do something really loose as a mock-up. For those clients that don't know me, ill do a more detailed mock-up with samples of previous elements in previous work that i want to incorporate into the design.
I usually use house paint and Spraypaint. You can order spray paint online on a website called sprayplanet.com or you can also get them at local paint stores
Okay, so I’m fairly new to art and I’ve never painted, but my artwork was recently noticed by a local mayor and she wants me and my friend to paint a mural. I’m freaking out because I honestly hate painting, I specialize in colored pencil and recently chalk. I mainly do realism mixed with I guess some surrealism. Do you have any mural (or even confidence) tips?
Hi, can you or anyone help me with some mural painting tips. I'll be doing a mural in 3 days to come and I'm doing it for the first time... The video helped me a lot, got some ideas now but I'd like more info about mural painting.
How much do you charge for a wall mural? My school adked me to draw a mural on the gym wall. It will be a great help if you can give me a ballpark of a quote I can make
I made this video, explaining my thought process behind the Cost of the mural. It will help showcase how I price my work th-cam.com/video/WaLDt-xpToU/w-d-xo.html

Prep work is so important. This makes the post clean up really seamless and clients really appreciate that.
Thank you for making this! Getting started planning a mural to paint at my high school with our art club!! This is a lot of useful info I might not have thought of
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing to see your work in progress! The pesticide sprayer for a paint tool is smart!

Hi there! Your painting looks great! I was wondering would you happen to know anything about the process of painting a mural on a shipping container?
Yes I do. It's hard because its corrugated but the larger you able to paint the image the less details gets lost in the corrugation. also the primer made for metal is good to prime it with. to start
Love it!
Thanks
getting ready to do my first mural as well this vid was so much help!!! omg youre awesome and i love the art as well!

Where did you get the spray paint rack? It's awesome.
Great process, thanks.

Your videos are wonderful
This is very beautiful! Love the colors!
The Sketchy Hobby thanks!!!
I have a pretty big Color by number project coming up. Could you offer some advice on painting on plywood?
Hit it with as much primary as possible. That way you seal it, as well as smooth it out when it comes to the texture. Kilz2 primer is great for this
This was gorgeous. I love large scale art. 💖
Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Do you ever use grids for realistic painting? Trying to figure out how that all works.
Yes I do! here is the style of grid i use. I made a video on how to do it: th-cam.com/video/vF5A_9vylrQ/w-d-xo.html
@@iamdetour thanks so much! I'm going to check it out!

Yes. wear a mask whenever you can. Sometimes I forget but definitely wear it when you paint.
Hey which app do you use to do your sketching for your art before you start on a wall thank you God bless
I was using procreate app on the iPad.
Thank you
I gave you a thumbs-up immediately for not having blaring copyright-free muzak.
Awesome! What app you use to measure?
its the measuring pp that comes with the iPhone. its pretty useful for rough estimations.
Love this video!! I recognize your going with your flow even though you made a mock up. What mock up App or software did you use? Subscribed!
It's procreate

That was done with the iPhone
Will u share a supply list for a new mural painter?
I would love to share. I can definitely do that in a video coming up!!!
What kind of paint did you use? Im making my own mural for my room and want it to look like the one you did.
Oh nevermind i saw other comment
Good video
Hey, what kind of paints do you use and where do you get them ?
I usually use house paint and Spraypaint. You can order spray paint online on a website called sprayplanet.com or you can also get them at local paint stores
For my next mural I have to do a big tree but the leaves are basically paint splatters and blobs. Is there a good tool to do this with?
Great abstract Detour! How much $0.00 for it?
Can't remember but i probably did this one for free because it my friend's spot. i usually paint there for fun and to help out.
