Once upon a Wall - Harry Anstice

Hello Harry! My daughter has asked me to paint a mural of a forest on my soon-to-be granddaughter's nursery wall! I'm excited that she trusts me to try this but have never painted anything so large! A couple of basic questions... are you using a regular pencil or a charcoal for the initial drawing? Is the paint, regular wall paint? If so -- can I use acrylic colorant for variation? thanks so much for any advice!! Teresa

@@treetag614 Hello. Yes I used an ordinary pencil so that the outline was as faint as possible. And I used regular wall paint. Acrylic is better for variation than ordinary emulsion but emulsion serves well for the foundation. Very best of luck with the wall mural. I’m sure your granddaughter will love it. Regards H

Hi Harry, great video, far better than most I’ve seen on here, I’ve just papered feature walls in two of my bedrooms, both paste the wall, I found that not cutting the paper from the roll works a treat as you don’t get the paper rolling back up it’s self as the weight of the roll holds it down, once it’s stuck on the wall I cut an inch from where my trim line is, I put the roll in a clean cardboard box to keep it clean and off the floor (I use the box the paper came in), oh and I love paste the wall, my first attempt was paste the paper, never again, what a faff!! My next challenge is the stairs wall, hopefully you’ve done a video for that! Thanks 😀

When I put masking tape on painted walls it pulls the paint off when I remove the tape. It wrecks the job completely

@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529 2 ай бұрын

@@davidbingdingdong Hello. That’s unfortunate. If the wall is painted correctly the paint should never come off. Maybe the wall under the paint is too porous and dry or the tape is too sticky. But whatever paint should never come off walls with proper masking tape. It might help to use a less sticky tape. They come in many different grades of stickiness. Regards H

Hi Harry I'm about to paper my chimney breast . I ended up plastering , skimming it to make it a bit more true and smooth as it was not great before hand . I was going to size it with a watered down paste and I thought also on painting a couple of strips of paint vertically where the joins will be, breast approx width of 3 times the width of roll, in similar colour to paper . Is this a good idea incase of shrinkage when paper dries in case of a hairline gap between joints. I may have seen this on another video.

@@stumetallicafan Hello. What you have done is all good preparation for hanging wallpaper. But if you are hanging wallpaper over a freshly plastered wall I would strongly recommend cross lining the wall with lining paper, as newly plastered walls can be prone to cracking from wallpaper shrinkage. Unless of course you are using a non woven wallpaper. I know cross lining the wall seems like an unnecessary amount of extra work but it could save a lot of heartache in the long run. Regards H

Hi Harry . I'm about to wallpaper a chimney breast and it has magnolia paint on the wall but at bottom I have made a feature and formed an opening. The wall was not very true and I've used fair bit of filler which is to be sanded down mainly at the bottom of chimney breast . I'm wondering what to put on the wall if I need to prior to papering . Is this what they call sizing .

@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529 4 ай бұрын

@@stumetallicafan Hello. If you have used a lot of filler on the wall the wall should be sized and cross lined then painted. I know it sounds like a lot of work but filler can sometimes shrink especially on a chimney breast. Plus if you don’t cross line the wall often the wallpaper can shrink especially at the joints and it can lift the plaster off with it. Preparation can be a right pain but it’s always worth it. All the best H

@onceuponawall-harryanstice2529 4 ай бұрын

@@stumetallicafan Hello again. Cross lining is when you take a sort of under paper made specifically for this purpose. It is plain and you hang it horizontally. It makes the wall more sturdy and reduces the risk of the wallpaper lifting off.

Just apply it carefully. It takes practice. But if it looks good to the eye then it’s good. And thirdly you apply the wall paint to the ceiling first so that if there is any paint bleeding under the tape it will be invisible as it’s the same paint as the wall. I hope I’ve been helpful.
