Techniques of Community Murals

When starting a mural project a wall is often pre-selected by the sponsoring organization. Ideally, the artist will be consulted to help select an appropriate site for a mural.

Artists also sometimes search independently for a location to create a self-sponsored project. The artist conceives of an idea, identifies a wall, secures permission, and paints the mural as a gift to the surrounding community. Another process that can work well is for an artist to have an inspiration about a possible project for a place and then to involve community members and organizations in sponsoring the mural.

Good Brushes

Never underestimate the power of a good brush when painting a mural. A good brush can save you both time and paint and can make your work look the best. No matter what type of mural you are working on always use quality brushes and treat them well. Proper care in washing and storing will keep your brushes lasting for years. At Imagination Atmospheres we use Purdy brushes almost exclusively and can recommend them for all types of hand-painted murals.
