    I like how you stress the prep time! some people do not bother with this and have so much more work just cleaning up after themselves! So very sweet too!

      Prep work is so important. This makes the post clean up really seamless and clients really appreciate that.

    My 2nd graders just watched your video on making a mural and thought it was cool, and Christopher asked if you could make more mural videos on how to be good at it. Another one of my students, Richard, is asking about if you do comic art murals as well. Josiah wants to say that the video was beautiful and he really liked the mural. Thank you for such an informative and enjoyable video.

    • @iamdetour
      @iamdetour  3 года назад +3

      Yes I do. It's hard because its corrugated but the larger you able to paint the image the less details gets lost in the corrugation. also the primer made for metal is good to prime it with. to start

    I love your art! I’ll be starting a mural by myself for the first time next week and I was hoping you could tell me what type of acrylic paints do you use? I plan on using latex interior paint for the background, but have yet to find the right (but also cost efficient) acrylic paint that would be in budget but also work very well on a wall. My michaels didn’t have a lot of options larger than 8oz. They had Decoart Americana, Folkart, and craft smart, but I’ve never used any of those brands before and I’m not sure how they would do on a wall (interior). If you have any acrylic paint recommendations please send them my way! It’d be greatly appreciated❤

      Yes. wear a mask whenever you can. Sometimes I forget but definitely wear it when you paint.

  • @CoreyLansdell
    @CoreyLansdell 3 года назад +3

    Amazing to see the process here. Really cool. Are all of your abstract projects as open as this in terms of prep of the image? It seemed like your mockup was pretty loose. The the client want to see a "finished' digital mockup before you started? Or do you just give them a general sense of what you're doing?

    • @iamdetour
      @iamdetour  3 года назад +1

      because most clients now my work well, I can do something really loose as a mock-up. For those clients that don't know me, ill do a more detailed mock-up with samples of previous elements in previous work that i want to incorporate into the design.

    • @iamdetour

      its easy to clean if you clean it right afterwards (Use hot water). Its actually pretty pun to use. You'll have to water down some of the paints to do it those.

I’m freaking out because I honestly hate painting, I specialize in colored pencil and recently chalk. I mainly do realism mixed with I guess some surrealism. Do you have any mural (or even confidence) tips?
