On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Carolyn Travisano and I'm here to show you
about window murals. Okay, I picked out my brushes that I want to use that would fit
appropriately for the pieces that I'm doing here, the images. I'm just going to fill in
the solid colors, I'll go back later and add highlights in the end, but right now we're
just putting the solid colors in. You don't want to put the paint on too thick, because
it will crack so as I'm going over it I'm smoothing out the paint. I'm using a smaller
brush because of the area that trying to paint in here I don't want to over lap the black
lines. So I'll go back in later and highlight and fill in the stars and the spirals at the
top there. I'll go back in towards the end and fill in close to the star because I want
to paint the star in with the gold next. While I'm also filling in the white part of the
mug in the coffee area I'll go back in and do other work in areas that require white
as well. So I'll go in and fill the tile work on the sides just so I don't have to be switching
back and forth between paintbrushes, cleaning the brushes or wasting any paint because the
longer you have the paint out the quicker it'll dry and you'll waste lots and lots of
paint that way. So try to do it as efficiently as possible.
