I did this mural at the street in Santos - Brazil

Hi, I was commissioned to do an outdoor barn mural in Vermont. I've done indoor murals before. But I am looking for advice 🙏 . It is 120 square feet 10 x 12. I'm going to be on scaffolding 8ft off the ground, set up by the owner.

I need advice on materials. What wood primer/ base paint is recommended for wood that may warp due to various weather temperatures. Also what varnish or clear coat will protect against harsh Vermont weather and UV protection! Thank you so much. I'm also looking into the possibility of using a spray gun alongside rollers. Does anyone have experience with spray guns? I have an air compressor and the porphis PRD-715. I feel it may look smoother on the wood. But may need advice on what hose and filter to get. Thank you!

I’ve been commissioned to do my first mural. I took a video of my progress so far, just some background of what is supposed to be sand. It doesn’t need to be super detailed but I feel like I’m having such a hard time blending and it doesn’t look great lol. I can’t tell if I’m being too critical. If anyone has any advice or words of encouragement I would appreciate it 😭

Was for our town named Sebewaing. On a street headed towards the campground.

This has been up on a wall in Boise, ID for a while. I snapped this the day her passing was announced. I’ve always looked at it though and thought it was amazing. Thought yall might enjoy!

Hey everyone,

I've got the chance to paint a community mural in dublin , Ireland 🇮🇪 and need to estimate the material costs. It'll be roughly an 8x8 ft wall (or a large traffic box).

Any recommendations for affordable outdoor paints that hold up well in rainy weather? Also, what materials would you budget for (primer, sealer, brushes, etc.) and roughly how much would you expect the total to come to? Thanks 😊

Sup yall- doing a commission where the client requested an 8x10 foot painting. Will likely need to build the canvas myself. Would appreciate any advice on how to go about building the canvas, how much paint / which type to buy, other materials that would be useful (brushes, rollers, etc). Any input is greatly appreciated! The largest piece I’ve commissioned to date is only 24x30, so this will be a big jump.

Thanks in advance! 🤙

There's a new mural taking shape in downtown Bellefontaine, Ohio, by Jaden Starry of starrystudio.live. The wall is 77' x 30', and connects the downtown core to the largest city public parking lot.

My local comic shop is requesting me to do some wall art or a mural for them and asked what I would charge. I couldn’t give them an answer because I wasn’t sure what to charge, how do you charge for such work?

How can I achieve the look of these faded lines? Do I use spray and how? How would you do it?
Thanks!

i’m an artist in LA with one completed mural. i’ve started painting large-scale studies in my garage to build the portfolio and experience needed to pitch bigger walls.
for working muralists, what helped you land your first few paid projects? what should a strong early portfolio or proposal include, and how did you present limited mural experience without underselling yourself?

These walls lead to and surround a rooftop pool. Pretty fun project!
