How to Indoor Paint Wall Murals

Vote for this project in the before and after contest

Step 1: Choosing Your Design

First choose a simple cartoon or image and make a grid over it in pencil.

Step 2: Sketching Grid and Making Draft

Choose a good open space to paint your mural. Using the grid method, sketch the proportional grid onto the wall. Following one box at a time make a rough pencil draft of your image on the wall.

Step 3: Paint Time

Start filling in the painted areas starting with the largely used colors then the details after. Paint sponges and brushes work the same. Tip: if a thin black line is needed, use a sharpie. It looks the same and is easier to use.

Step 4: Finishing Signing and Showing Off

Erase stray pencil marks and clean up the wall then Sign the piece at the bottom and show off your work!

We did this mural on our daughte's nursery wall by using a multimedia projector to project a coloring page on the wall, trace it in pencil, and finally color it in with paint.
