Mural Process

Here is the process we are using to paint 25ish murals on our fence. (We have about 16 finished at the moment. A debut of the rest of them will come later.)

First we choose a design. Some have been downloaded and some have been hand drawn. Then we trace it onto a sheet protector. Overhead transparencies work, but sheet protectors are much, much cheaper.

Next we wait until dark and put the design on an overhead projector and trace it onto the fence.

The next day we start painting. We outline first.

Some colors require quite a few coats.

After we have the base on, we add the details. Some of the designs require us to put the design back on the overhead and trace the next layers. (This one did not.)

The finished product! Chandler did a good job!! (He did all of the painting, I helped with the line work at the end.)

This one is not nearly as complicated as some others and it took probably 4-5 hours of work. (This fence project is turning into more than I bargained for!!!)
