Wow clockwork, nice work there! Looks very neat too!

How'd you do it? Just brush white paint over your initial artwork again, wait for it to try then start your new work? Are you using any stencils or purely freehand? Me interested to paint my study room wall too but duno how to go about doing it...

Hi Hi...

What I did was paint the wall white first ,

I then use a pencil to draw ( freehand )

Then paint the design using black paint.

The tip is to start painting light colors 1st ,so its easier to paint over.

Here's some of my works

Kitchen wall beside toilet

Living Room

Son's room

Thank you for all your compliments , !!

I don't mind doing wall painting for others , but alot depends on the designs.

If it's too complicated , I'll need more time coz I've got a full time job

Sometimes I do wish like quitting my job to pursue my wall painting intrest.

But sometimes , I'm abit scared that I might not live up to the home owner expectations !

its very nice leh!! ya ya... definitely will have many forumers engaging you for the job... maybe you could start a online blog for part-time first?? if the response is very good, you can really quit and pursue your interest...

Yes I agree! Can start doing on long weekends ... and see how is the response.

I can do on small canvas but doing on a wall requires good perspective and a very steady hand.

Great job Clockwork!!
