Mural Art – Why I Wish to Paint BIG, Why Murals Are Positive .

Painting a mural is the most enjoyable experience that I have had. Painting at least the sizing of actual life almost makes the mural come to life. As if I can measure and pass into the painting, step or walking into my mind. In a sense it is like I am stepping into myself.

I have painted quite a few large murals for clients. Every one has been super rewarding.

I see more about painting in one mural then I see in painting a dozen small paintings. If I had to pick one size to key all the sentence it would be mural size.

~Why I feel artists Mural Mural Art can set time. All of our ancestors participated in mural arts. They used murals to describe history, events, timelines, possible future events, maps to the heavens, sacred rituals etc. Mural art is empowering, it takes the subject matter to the very border of bringing it to real life because of the magnitude of its size. Murals involve communities and they bring people together. Brings people in the community together because murals usually are a manifestation of the community. Whether the community is a rural town or large inner city they help educate by showing culture, diversity, history and service to decorate the area.

~Using the Grid to mural~ When I do a mural I sometimes similar to use the grid method to get my picture on the wall. I do this depending on the strength and point of the mural. For those of you that don`t recognize the grid method I will briefly explain, You get out the figure on a smaller sheet of paper. After you get it you use simple math to make a grid on top. Example. I will make 1inch by 1 inch squares on top of the drawing. Depending on the sizing of the fence I have a larger grid to scale. I will have the squares in the larger grid sometimes 1 foot, 2 foot, 3 foot etc. The sizing of the grid on the wall depends on the sizing of the wall. The larger the fence the larger the squares. The largest mural I have painted was in the Scottsdale museum of fine arts, it was 40 feet long by 24 feet tall. I used 2 foot squares for the grid. The use of the grid is to see where you are in in position and proportion giving you draw lines to follow.

~Briefly how to Get to mural~ My biggest goal is to proceed to go round the world painting murals. There is a convention to ever success. In rank to get hired to paint murals in your community as good as all about the man you get to start murals. It is hard sometimes because as a good time artist you need eat and make money. You too want to get your list out there and let the community experience that you are a muralist. To get your name exposed a muralist will donate his/her time to the community and does a few murals for trivial or no pay. This is done because you want to make a portfolio of murals in place to be sought out by other organizations that need murals to be done. Once the artist has some half a dozen legitimate murals then the ball gos rolling a bit and you might start to get a few paying gigs. Because I had a reputation already with the community and I have built a strong business of mass that buy my art, starting to find mural work came naturally.

~My First Large Mural~ Before I executed my first mural I had painted large on canvas 5 foot x 10 foot. My first mural I painted was 40 feet long by 24 feet tall. I was a little overwhelmed at first. This was to be executed in the Scottsdale museum of the arts. I was a slight nervous because I had never painted this big let alone in a 1st division museum. I took command of my anxiety and got to work. We had scaffolding, ladders, drop cloths, tools and paint, lots of paint, the whole nine yards_. I gridded the solid wall out with 2 foot by 2 foot squares. After doing the grid I felt way more confident. I drew my picture all out. After I drew it out I started with the color fills. Before I knew it the mural was taking form and class and I was feeling not just better about myself but proud of myself. The signal is: You get to get a strategy, a program of activity with well set out steps for anything to be accomplished. Now I paint murals all the time, I am known to close them sometimes in less then a few hours. But it took hard work, willing to take a clear mind to teach and a true sense of humility.

My end is to stay to paint murals. Travel while doing it. Combine the elements of abstract art, modern wall art, Buddha art, pop art and stencil art into the creations that I share in. Also to keep to get paid well while doing it and add to the communities.

About the Author:

My maiden key is Banding (pronounced Bonding) my last mention is Hendrix. I go and rest for the art movement. It is my true calling. I`m originally from San Francisco, but residing now in Scottsdale, AZ. Coming from a multi-racial background I was taught to squeeze and know all cultures. I am influenced by those cultures, as easily as the limitless possibilities of beauty and life_ My way is Progressive, I pull ideas from surrealism, abstract, pop art, & urban art. Experiencing and inquiring the essential metaphysical nature of the brain and transcendental thought. Using the average of rouge to research and have the religious and supernatural. I name my art "progressive" because I am always seeking improvement and development while I aim to crystallize internal perfection through art. True art is an outward demonstration of an internal world that has the voltage for beauty and total perfection. I think we are all perfect entities internally; manifested as spiritual beings. It is our own want of reason and sensing that keeps us from reaching our total potential as human beings. I make a better understanding of that inside reality when I use myself as a creative medium. I also aim to make an emotional stimulation inside the witness and my art work - I found a source in their mind that takes root and flowers.mural art
