The artist should select a location first and get secure permission and paint the drawing got the citizens. The artist hast to get appropriate permission. Crapping, wire brushing or power washing will be necessary to clean the wall. It will be needed even if the wall looks clean. If you decide to power wash, it has to dry for a couple of days before you start priming. If the old paint does not go you can soda blast it. It says “Soda blasting is a good way to remove old paint” The mural wall should be well primed before you begin drawing and painting on it. Citizens and your teachers have to give final approval before you can start your mural. There are three main routes to getting your outline up on the wall. You may: 1) project your design using an overhead projector, 2) use a gridding system, or 3) directly draw your image onto the wall. Drawing can be done with large charcoal sticks or with a paintbrush and thinned acrylic paint. But mostly Acrylic is recommended because it will dry really quickly and do not drop a few drops of water to acrylic paints. These are the commonly used supplies that are needed for mural painting: acrylic paints in a selection of colors that corresponds to colors in your preliminary design, empty containers with lids—coffee cans, cups, etc for mixed colors, primer (gesso), rollers, roller pads, extension handles for your rollers, rags and/or paper towels, drop cloths, buckets, brushes in many sizes, yardsticks, masking tape, painting palettes or trays for mixing colors, metal scrapers to clean dried paint off palettes, stirring sticks, wire brushes, brooms and shovels, eye protection (goggles), ladders, scaffolding, paint spraying system, milk crates or other sturdy boxes to store paint cans. When you are done with your mural it should be coated with matt or semi-gloss acrylic varnish when it is done. This information will help me learn how to be careful when I start my floor mural with the supplements that I'm going to use.
