    Mate, you are a legend! This is exactly the video I've been looking for! I'm going to start a mural in the next few weeks. So Cheers from across the pond. Great Channel.
  • @ohydka
    Thank you for this video! You explained everything very well and to the point, which made me feel less anxious and more curious about trying the mural art :)
  • Thanks so much for this. Very happy with your tips and your presentation is excellent.

    This helps a lot. I am going to try a floral on my back wall of the house that gets lots of sun in south Florida.

    Great info. I would add: 1. Be aware that regular latex-housepaint is meant for projects inside. If you're going for coverage outside, as well as colors that stay good for a long time: invest in a longterm-outside latex. Get like 10 liters of each color (I mostly go for: a blue, yellow, red, two types of brown and white/black), and store them for your next projects. The benefit of that type of paint is: stays better, longer, has extremely great coverage, but you can also mix it up until total transparency. It's like working with acrylic paint, but with the option of oil-thickness.. 2. Also: bring a rough brush to clean off dust/debree. The better quality latex paints stay very good for a long time (like 8 to 12 years before the red or yellow starts going a little bit, if you're not applying a UV coat at the end). But if you add water and it becomes this milky-consistency, throw it away. That's the cheap stuff: it'll be gone within a year or so... Also: remember to take a number of empty buckets/cans, so you can store mixes made on the spot. (tip: when in a larger lift, those S-shaped metallic hooks that window-cleaners use are ideal to arrange your palette in the lift). Also beneficial: with good latex paint, brushes, buckets, and all other utensils stay very good, and you can easily clean them afterwards to reuse. 3. Now, the only drawback is: the really proper outside heavy latex brands, often have ranges that are not 100% pure color, they're more likely to feature pastel-colors/broken-colors. One the one hand it's positive: you know you're dealing with a quality brand if they refuse to go all the way up the spectrum. Honestly: once you get into working with pole and large brushes/rollers on the big formats, that's even more addictive than cans. Question: I haven't seen all of the videos on this channel - so pardon my ignorance - but has there been one on crowd-management yet? Working in a public space can be incredibly adventurous and fun, but - sadly - you also get to deal with the 'difficult' ones.

    Seriously! Thank you a bunch! I’m still an am amateur with a can! I have been asked to do a mural too and it completely caught me off guard. I have only used the acrylics that you mentioned so this video was so helpful! Thanks a bunch! Can’t wait to watch more videos like this! Stay fly!
