Wall Painting

Hello everyone! In this instructable, i have transformed my ugly living room wall into this beautiful artwork. For just a school going girl, this project required a lot of hard work and effort. But I was determined to ace this wall painting because I love to create my own designs and put them out there in the world. Plus I have a special place in my heart for nature and all the liveliness it brings with it! :)

There is quite a lot of materials required. These are the supplies that I used:

1. P320 sand paper
2. masking tape
3. newspaper
4. roller
5. white paint of Asian paints (1 liter)
6. thick as well as thin marker
7. brushes
8. primer
9. stand
10. green colour tubes
11. base paint colour
12. pencil
13. drywall and joint compound

Create a rough idea of how you wish to design the wall. What proportions, placement and colour schemes can be decided through this. I used the procreate app on iPad to create a rough design of what I wish to paint. You can always change your designs during the process if you see fit.

1. The old wall and some huge cracks. To fill them use drywall and joint compound.
2. scrub the wall with sand paper to ensure evenness.
3. apply primer to the wall

NOTE: DONT FORGET TO USE THE MASKING TAPE TO COVER THE EDGES OF THE WALL. THIS WILL PREVENT THE NEIGHBORING WALLS FROM NOT GETTING DIRTY.

use the roller to apply the base coat to the entire wall. Use small flat brush to cover the edges. Apply a second layer of base coat if necessary.

Start drawing your design on the wall with a pencil. My design comprises of flowers and leaves and nature. Drawing different types of leaves and flowers.

Using thick and thin marker, outline all the big chunks of drawing.

Divide the white paint into four. Mix the green colour according to the desired colour palette.

Paint it away! Using all the shades of green, I started to paint all the art work using the normal thin brushes. As you can see in this picture, ladder is very important 😂

outline the leftover designs and give finishing to each and everyone of them.

using of marker made the whole process a lot simpler

Remove all the masking tape and newspaper used to secure safety of the neighboring walls from paint.

All the hard work really did pay off. I made this mesmerizing wall painting. This not only put my time productively but also completely refurbished by living room wall!

NOTE: THE PHOTO DOES NOT EVEN NEARLY DO JUSTICE TO THE ACTUAL WALL. TRUST ME.

Just a few videos I created of my journey.
