Thank you, Sharon.
Deletethats amazing! do you use projectors at all?
ReplyDeleteThank you Lauren. I've never used a projector for my murals. I tried to use one recently specifically for a business logo and lettering. I found it very restrictive.
DeleteOh wow! I'm a newbie at painting murals, and while i've been an artist all my life, (well, i'm 26, so i guess not that long!) I find it difficult/time consuming to proportionally get the size and scale of an image accurate w/out one. I usually project the image and trace the main outline of the shapes and then go in and do the rest adding things here and there. Hopefully soon i will just be able to draw straight on the wall like you!
ReplyDeleteI've always felt more comfortable on a larger scale. The canvas was always "too small" in all my paintings. I paint loose not tight...if that makes sense. It is important to utilize a level when doing a large mural though. That's a mistake that newbies make. You cannot rely upon your eye to get it level especially if you're doing it professionally. Btw, the great master, Norman Rockwell, used a projector as well. As long as your projecting your art, not someone else's onto that wall, I would not consider it tracing. I wish you well in your endeavors.
DeleteOh i'll definitely start utilizing a level =) No i did not know that Norman Rockwell used a projector! I've admired him for a long time. Thanks for the encouraging words =) I look forward to keeping up with your blog.
