Child's Room Mural

This is the children's room mural so far, the focal point wall. I started with the yellow background, 2 coats of Baby Bee Yellow Behr paint. Then I taped off the lines for the waves and water and painted two coats of Behr Shallow Sea. My next step was to draw out the characters. In the lower left you can see a yellow blob that will soon take the shape of a fish, and in the upper right you may be able to make out a pencil drawing of another fish jumping over the windows. All of what you see will be outlined in a black paint to give it a illustrated feel you get from cartoons and childrens' books. For now this is what I have completed.



The rest of the walls around the room include the hills in green, still water (blue) tuffela trees, which right are only yellow trunks, and outlines of other characters, that are hard to make out in the pics. I am purposely leaving space on the wall pictured above for anything the owner's may want to have on the wall. Also, it is nice to allow space for furniture, if the walls feel to cluttered, the room will feel smaller and it will take away from what will be in the room itself... and we can't do that!



I am back to work at it tomorrow and I will be finished at the end of this week.
