How to Plan for Painting a Nursery Mural

It is very important, for those of you DARING Do It Yourselfers out there who are going to attempt to paint a mural on your own, to properly PLAN first before you start.

The first step in planning is to gather the appropriate materials. You will need:

• Paint – acrylic for smaller areas, latex for larger surface areas
• Brushes (different shapes & sizes)
• Rags / Sponges -  for adding texture and even for cleaning and touching up
• Reference Pictures – it is always good to tape up a picture to use as reference while you are working
• Drop Cloths & Sheets – to protect the floors and furniture
• Medium – this makes the paint more movable and is an essential when working with acrylics
