What I did

Dream project is what springs to mind when I look back at the photographs of this one. My absolute passion as an artist is creating bespoke pieces for my clients, something unique, just for them. And this one was the perfect project to create a bespoke mural for a beautiful little girl and to add a bit of fairy garden magic to her room.

I created this design digitally and then was hoping to project the image onto the wall to trace it, but unfortunately I didn’t have the room opposite the wall to set up the projector in the area that I needed to, as it would have meant the image would have been projected at a weird angle. So I decided to go back to basics and use the grid method and scale the image up and transfer it onto the wall using graphite pencil and tracing paper.

Once the main image was in place, I drew the rainbow onto the wall freehand and then added a few extra details as I went along.

Sometimes when painting in certain areas and rooms, you have to get into some awkward positions, which can be challenging, but also amusing at times.

I was over the moon when this one was complete and more importantly, so was my client and her gorgeous girl. I sometimes have to pinch myself, as I can’t believe that I get to do this as my job.
