Painting Packet
Wall Mural...?
I want to paint a wall mural on one of my walls in my bedroom, and I wanted something like a fairy realm or something with trees and mushrooms in it but I can't find any pictures. So I decided to use this picture from my incense packet from liquid blue but was hoping to find a bigger picture so I could see the detail better... but could anyone tell me a site I could find pictures to paint, sorta like the style of like the liquid blue.com pics? And is there certain paint I should use? Thanks if you can help!!
k so as far as the paint ur supposed to use...the best would be the big gallon paints meant for walls...but that would be way too expensive to buy all the colors you would be using, this is the same problem i enountered when i did an island mural on my wall. so here's what i did. buy cheap acrilic paints (like they have em at target and walmart for like 40 cents-ish, i would go to miheals its expensive there) and take the acrilic paint and do more of the smaller paintings and it works great, but for the bigger parts of the mural like the sky or background that would cover a good portion of the wall use the actual wall paint combined with like a large bottle of acrilic...i would just say use only the wall paints but if you combine it with acrilic it goes on easy and blends better...as far as a website with that kind of art here it is....go to photobucket.com and type in mushroom fantasy and if u dont like those then just type in whatever till u get what u want
good luck!
