Flower Mural

Drawing a flower mural

    Well as usual I have gone far too long between blog posts. I really do try to blog more but it seems like there is so much do to and my blog posts just end up being neglected. I will try harder for the new year!!!

    Anyway, I have been creating lots of new artwork and although I am unable to post all of them ( there is just too much), I will share a project that is dear to me. I really want to get into drawing and painting murals for people. I have been flirting with this idea for a while now and am super excited.about this new side of my business. I really wanted to draw a floral mural on one of my walls in the house, but the housing office stated that I was not allowed to do this. So I decided to draw my mural on large brown paper.
I bought the brown paper at the grocery store for a few dollars and am so glad I decided to use it.The fact that it was cheap allowed for more experimental freedom to draw, doodle and just have fun. I taped the paper to the wall and just started to draw. I used some acrylic paint, collage, color pencils and some markers and sharpies. I love working with markers,but really couldn't use much because they did not show up well on the brown paper.
The entire drawing is about 4 feet tall and about 2.5 feet wide. I think this is the largest drawing/painting I have done and I really did enjoy it. I am looking forward to doing murals,  preferably smaller ones until I get used to drawing/painting big.
Below are some more images of the drawing.
