"So, I'm going to dive right in and we're going to start talking about painting a mural from start to finish. For example, we'll be looking at this mural that you see behind us here. Now this started as all murals do, as a simple sketch. So, what I have here is an early sketch for the scene you see behind me. The person who commissioned me to do this mural wasn't too picky about the subject matter. She just said she wanted something that would take her outside. She is also a big fan of all things Tuscan, so I thought some arches with a landscape behind might be nice for her living room. So, here I've got a layout of the room with all the furniture that's going to be in it. As you can see, it differs from my earlier sketch and that this one features palm trees and a more Mediterranean feel and three arches rather than two. Later on I decided to ditch the three arches, I hate symmetry, so we went back to the two asymmetrical arches which I think works a lot better in this space. And it's always important to take into account the furniture in the room. You can't walk in here and assume that they're going to rearrange their room to accommodate the art work. So, that's always something to think about when you start planning a mural. From this stage, if the owner is happy and the artist is happy, then we move on to color models."
