Tips in Creating a Mural
08 Sep 2016
Robert Alejandro shares with us how he makes wall come alive with a stroke of a brush. Here he is as he was completing the mural at Papemelroti SM Taytay.
I know this doesn't look like much but I do know that I wanted something tall and visible from a distance. Hence the trees. I actually used a kitchen sponge doing this.
Now it gets more interesting. Using a medium sized brush, I paint in leaves on the tree. I am using house paint acrylic.

A very simple tree but it's far from finished.
And on the other side of the wall - another kind of tree. I like drawing different "species" of plants. Take inspiration from nature and it's variety of shapes sizes and color! #papemelroti #smcitytaytay
