My newest mural high up on the shop front of Health Rebels in Western Road has been painted in the 'graphic botanical style' featured in the pages of our book Making Murals published by David and Charles: 'https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/making-murals-book-clara-wilkinson-9781446309360?sku=NGR
The book was co authored with Mary West and me, and we share all we know about mural making! For this project at Health Rebels the wall first needed to be prepped and I was able to draw up and paint the design without too much difficulty.
I love using Little Greene Paint Company colours: http://www.littlegreene.com/wallpaper/style/striped?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7fG75yMPXzSsq1CdGfo0
I usually draw my designs freehand with a posca pen and then get painting.
A section of the book is also dedicated to exterior murals and all you need to know before embarking on your own. I'll make another post about this soon.
