Painting Window Murals With Solid Colors

Video Transcript

"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."
