How to paint a mural
It made me
Contented
 "I grew spiritually, artistically, and communally."
How I did it: I actually did this with 14 people from my church. We went to Guatemala and painted a Biblical scene in a park of a very poor area. We took small pictures with grids on them then drew with red crayons on the wall we had chosen. We painted using oil paint because it will last the longest outside there. Lessons & tips: I learned that people around the world really are the same at heart as we connected with the people of the area (despite not knowing the language). I also learned that oil takes a long time to dry so spread your work out. Resources: If you do a mural in an impoverished area by all supplies there to help their economy. Also have your friends nearby to help!!

Then it hit me, the youthclub's there for the kids so why not let them choose what goes on th… Read how I did it…

Goodbye, Wall of Burden.

Today if I could paint a mural, I would put this picture life-sized on my living room wall.
I like the thought that I could almost walk through a wall and into a gorgeous picture.

Thus far:
One moon, one planet, and the beginnings of a foreign-planet seascape.
I don’t know when I’ll get to work on it again, though.
Time shortage, oh dear. :/
(p.s. This is mural version 3, many layers buried beneath. Again, oh dear.)

michugela asks,
“My wall is not so very big (about 10' x 10') but is facing sea and sun. I don't know how to start - design ready, so grid? How to prime? What kind of paint? Thanks for any advice.”
