Painting a mountain mural!

in #life • 6 years ago

Hey everyone!

It’s been so sunny here it definitely feels like Spring now! Which is far too early! And I am still secretly wishing for one last cold spell with lots of snow before spring arrives for real!

We’ve been doing some more decorating, or should o say I have!, this time I wanted to paint a mural on a wall. It was inspired by thousands of shots I saw on the internet but I wanted it to be more natural so decided to free hand it all. I first drew pencil guide lines on the wall so I had some sort of idea of what I was doing! I then started with the top almost sun rise colours ....

Once that had been done I mixed some white paint and the dark green we used for living room to get a really light green for the very top mountains and then painted them on! It was so much fun doing this, I felt like I was a kid again!

The room currently has our computer office in it so that’s why there are screens there btw! Once if done the first mountains I then added more green to the white and got a bit of a darker colour for the next few lines of hills.

It was starting to come together really well and with only a few accidents of paint getting on the carpet I was quite proud of the end result !!

It was so great to try something different for a change with painting and realising it’s not actually that difficult if you just give it a go! Hope you guys enjoyed the post!
