Mural painting is something that has been used throughout the ages by
professionals and amateurs alike to publicly display their individual
attitudes, a current theme or outlook on life. It is a colorful way to
both express ourselves and the times we live in.
It seems that most mural artwork these days is more like abstract art
and colorful cartoon-like styles. A good example is The Beatles “Yellow
Submarine” style of artwork. This simplicity in design makes mural
painting reachable for any artist who loves to paint.
Murals do not have to be real life types of scenes that only the most
advanced artist can create. They can be vibrant, exciting works of
color, attitude and style.
They can be murals for kids rooms. They can be artwork for public places
like libraries and artwork that is suitable for teens or adults to have
on their walls.
Anyone that can map out a wall so that his or her work will have proper
form and be in the right proportion can do some nice mural work. Mapping
out a large area using grid lines is half the battle. The other half is
choosing good colors and design. And also using the right paint medium
and then taking the time to do neat quality work.
Below are 3 popular types of murals that you can make money painting…
Murals on Stretched Canvas Frames – I like the idea of canvas frames
because you can do all your work in your shop and then bring it to the
customer when it is finished. You can even have one piece of art or
theme carried out on three large canvas frames.
I have seen some nice abstract artwork done this way. The colors are
bright and exciting and will look great in a nice home that has
contemporary colors throughout the house. You could sell your work
online or in consignment shops.
Wall Murals – this type of mural is usually more advanced when done in a
nice home. Painters that do this type of work are generally more of an
advanced artist than someone who could do an outside wall mural. That is
just my opinion only because I think of exterior wall murals as
something more along the lines of sign painting or the artwork done
around construction sites in a downtown setting.
But I do know that there is some pretty cool and advanced stuff painted
on the sides of buildings. To make money you could find jobs through
interior decorators and through word-of-mouth.
Ceiling Murals – like wall murals, ceiling murals are usually the more
intricate and advanced types of artwork. One type of ceiling painting
that is popular although very few ever master it to its full potential
is “star mural painting”. This is done using special formulated paints
that glow in the dark. The paints usually glow all night long.
Professionally done star murals can mesmerize anyone whether they are
art lovers, stargazers or just looking for something to jazz up their
bedroom or game room ceiling. This type of art is not just for kids.
After all, most kids would be happy with just plain old stick-on stars
on their bedroom ceiling.
This type of art, if done by a professional muralist can even have
astronomers in awe. Fortunately though, anyone can do an accurate star
mural if you they have a few simple tools and know a few tricks of the
trade.
You could find work through showing people sample posters. If you are
already in peoples homes doing service work you could leave a poster
with them with your name and phone number on it.
