Thank you... the stepping back tip is huge. Also going over the surface first to create a smooth canvas. Good stuff...

I’m 12 and I’m as my mum says 30 in my art level and I’m finally doing this at the end of my first year of highschool and I’m super exited I’m going to try painting it on a canvas sitting it up as if it was a wall and I’ll try that and then I will do the wall

Just starting my first project. This was really helpful!

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing these tips. I’m about to start a mural for my daughter and these were so helpful!

No light bulb moments for me as I am a working artist but great tips. The most important when working on a large scale is stepping back every few minutes to look at the bigger picture. It's also important to just step away for some time in order to refresh your perspective; to make sure the proportions are correct as well as the colors and composition. I absolutely adore your mural. I never would have thought of doing something like this.

Thank you so much for sharing the video. It has been of great help to understand the start 🙏🙏

Thank you. You’re very talented! My favourite tip was to try something out for ten minutes before fully committing to it 🌼🌸

Katrina thanks for a great video. Your final tip to set a timer for 10 minutes has inspired me. I started a wall panel project in my living room but got stuck trying to seal the lines between panels. I tried calk and it didn’t work so I’ve been paralyzed for months unable to risk moving forward -not sure if a wood putty or joint compound or spackle or what would work. I’m finally ready to move forward with the joint compound idea. I’ll just seal a couple of them and see how I like it. I’m painting over it anyway plus I have spare panels if it fails. I just need to move forward.

Seeing the stages was very helpful. When I've looked at wall murals, and think about doing something like them, I'm always then hit with the thought: But where do I begin?! Thank you for helping with that!
