How To: Use a Projector to Paint Your Own Wall Mural
We just posted about Caroline's DIY mural project over at AT Los Angeles,
showcasing how she used a Illustrator file and her projector to take her silhouette
drawing and turned it into some lovely wall artwork. Details below...
I designed the mural for my sisters bedroom. The drawing was done in Illustrator and then projected on the wall using a video projector.
I traced the outline with a pencil. And then started filling it in making sure the pencil
marks we're covered. I used artist paint brushes for this. It took about 3 coats to get
the color right.
I used lacquer paint because it was a leftover from a different project but I would
advise people to use emulsion or acrylic paint for a smoother finish
(with lacquer it's very hard to get rid off 'stripes' from the paint brush.)

The new way of painting wall murals made it possible for non-artistic people to make murals on their own. Imagine how easy painting a mural would be if it's already on the wall and you just have to trace it. Unlike before, you have start from scratch and sketch it. Technology really does make our lives easier. Now, no one can say that they can't make their own murals at home, especially if it's this easy!
