Yes, the first coat of paint will soak in, so a masonry primer (any brand) is what you'll want as your first layer. The sketching part should be easy enough because you can use the lines of the brick as a guide. "One Shot" oil paints are often used by sign painters, to that with a sturdy bristle brush should be fine for a masonry sign.

If you use an exterior grade bucket paint as your base coat, and/or a masonry paint over raw brick, your can layer Montana spray cans over that to last many years. There are a few yellow pigments from Sherwin-Williams that resist fading, too, for more long lasting color. Our oldest murals are 6-7 years old and still look great.

Thanks man!

I use often a latex bucket paint as the base coat and add first a latex masonry primer if the wall is raw masonry. Then I use mostly latex bucket paint to paint on top of that, and/or Montana brand acrylic spray cans. Enamel is often used on metals, or where you want it to me hard and shiny, like sign painting, for instance. I believe emulsion is more for screen printing type work.

Thanks Bill- glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah! It’s such a fun game

Thanks so much!

I went to school for architecture. I would not recommend going to college for art. In my experience, I haven't met any college art teachers that are accomplishing a lot in the real world; teaching is how they make money, not art. So you most likely will not learn how to succeed financially with your artwork from them, which is what you should think about UP FRONT before you pay them a lot of money to teach you. If you're already doing some murals, keep doing them, learn from each experience, keep pushing your work to get a little bigger each time, and try to make the person you're doing the work for have a great experience working with you. If they do, they'll tell their other business owner friends about you, and you'll get more work. Think about who might need a mural in their business and go pitch them an idea about why you think them having this kind of art in their business will help their clients have a better experience and want to spend more time there (like a coffeeshop or deli). If you can help a potential client think about the value your art could have on them making more money for their business, that will help them understand the price you're charging for it.

Frank King thanks Frank! 😀

Hi Ashley! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing 💜

STICKYArt Channel thanks Sticky- I think you’re right. I think we definitely want to create with a sense of excellence, but I may hover on the edge of obsessing a little too often 😂

STICKYArt Channel Thanks! I think it was worth fighting the grit & grime in the end 🌺

Thanks Dries! I still can't get the videos done fast enough, so I started doing a weekday livestream on Instagram instead to get over the perfectionism 😂

Thanks C-THAT! Thanks for the idea. I just filmed a new video that features a projector in use that I’ll start editing soon. I’ll make sure to add more details in that video!

Evolution of a Homestead Great! Thanks- Georgetown is a really beautiful part of Washington DC to visit.

Evolution of a Homestead thank you! It’s a good way to add color to unconventional or temporary surfaces.

Michael Cost thank you! There’s not really much of a traditional path into street art 😂 but I’ll try to make some videos this year about how to get started
