I'm 27 and have no idea what career path I want to embark on for my future but I have secretly wanted to assist in painting a mural for years. Even better would be designing my own! So this video was spot on for beginner insight into the world of murals. I'm going to research ways to jump into this as a volunteer this summer in my city so I can build the confidence to set out on my own!

When I was a teen I painted a waterfall and vintage bug car with a palm tree on my bedroom door. I use the draw by square technique for other (non paint ) large art projects. Or free hand on windows (easy to clean mistakes). Yet to do a large wall mural. I am encouraged to try! Thanks!!

i created an oversized Sign/Mural for my employer....I used my iPad to photograph the area where mural would b painted, then upload to Procreate for iPad added the grid tool to divide the quadrants then drew the grids on the wall using white chalk traced letters using a sharpie wide pen, then acrylic paint over the sharpie wipe chalk marks away... worked excellent!

Thank you for the interview with Eric. I believe $19,000 is cheap for amazing good art. Look what paintings in a gallery can go for! You put a lot of time and skills into your works Eric. You deserve that sort of money.

i know this video is a couple years old now but i just wanna say that you guys crushed it. it's very clean & profesh, timing was on point and you are both excellent speakers so it was both fun and informative. epic collab! i took away some good tips from efdot that will help me on my mural journey for sure. i've been a graphic designer for almost 20 years now specializing in print. everything from business cards to billboards, to many mass tshirt orders and promotional items plus everything in between. small format, large format, screen print, digital print, full color & offset, typesetting and even bindery. working in print shops, sign shops, graphic design departments in major corporate offices and acting as a print broker for my own business has kept me afloat up until this point. ive always loved painting and have painted for fun on nearly every substrate you can think of but ive always been interested in murals. i have an opportunity to paint on a rather large exterior wall at a relatively busy intersection in my town, and i look forward to using some of the things that i've learned here today. thank you both for sharing some knowledge. keep killing your scenes. papapros out! 👊

This was really interesting! I was wondering if the final quote for the price of the entirely mural factors in the price of supplie? So would the budget for those would be coming out of the whole price of the mural or would it be separate?

@danielleboon15432 жыл бұрын
The problem with red and yellow is the pigments themselves. They’re weak and are easily overpowered by other pigments, including the white put in during manufacturing. So they’re mixed using more transparent bases. When you mix a transparent base with a transparent pigment, you aren’t going to get a super opaque paint. There are safety paints with better coverage. But they only come in limited colours, sheens, and are often oil based. They’re really designed for parkades and other industrial areas. Painting miles of HVAC pipe for weeks on end is so boring, and nobody cares if the colour is super exact, but you care greatly about coverage and durability.

Saying "your first mural is not going to be great" is so negative and discouraging. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but my first mural WAS great lol... I've been an artist for decades now so I guess it was meant to encourage people if they make mistakes, but dang. Give artists a little credit 😂
