How to Sketch Out a Wall Mural

A beautifully painted wall mural can bring any room in your home to life. Often, murals grace the walls of entryways, halls and even bathrooms. Creating a wall mural, however, can be a rather tedious task. Adequate preparation is the key to a beautiful mural.

Instructions

    1

    Clean the wall surface thoroughly before you begin to sketch the mural. Consider applying a fresh coat of paint before sketching.

    2

    Decide on the design or figure that you would like to sketch. It's best to sketch out a small-scale rough draft first.

    3

    Determine the necessary supplies. For instance, you should decide which types of paints and glazes would work best with the mural.

    4

    Create a grid over the small-scale rough draft. Draw a corresponding grid on your wall space. There must be the same amount of squares on both grids.

    5

    Transfer the small-scale image onto the wall. To do so, sketch exactly what you see in the small-scale drawing onto the wall grid.

    6

    Fill in forms and figures with white paint. White paint allows you to build the depth and strength of your color choices.

    7

    Seal the mural with a water-based varnish. Start in a single corner and apply evenly to the entire mural.
