Characteristics Of A Custom Mural Design

By Anthony Scott


Artists express their feelings through the painting masterpieces that they work on. It is often stated that a picture can be described in more than a thousand words. That being said, it is only left to your imagination to determine the collection of words that can form the perfect description of a Custom Mural Design. The sublime blend of pigments on the surface of a wall leaves onlookers with no other choice but to dangle in awe.

One characteristic that set muralists apart from normal painters, or extreme impressionists is that they deal with pictures that are totally inherent with other sorts of art. The reason is that the pictorial expressions are painted directly on the wall, such that it forms an integral part of the architectural design. The blend of pigment and the theme alters the spatial extents of a wall, drastically modifying the space.

Another characteristic of this form of art is that, beneath the colors and visual images expressed in the picture should be an educative theme that focusses on creating social awareness. Therefore, painters are required to understand the social setting and address the critical issues like religion, economy and culture. Hence, they should paint their murals in a way that people can relate with, and at the same time, the architectural integrity remains consistent.

Since the historical days, mural paintings have been done using different techniques. Some commonly known techniques of painting include; encaustic, fresco, tempera, and acrylics on canvas. In contemporary times, fluid silicate or heated porcelain enamel are widely used. During the Classical era, however, the mostly used technique was encaustic. Painters using this scheme used liquefied bee wax as a binder and applied it to the work piece whilst hot. In Tempera, the binder used was mainly egg white or yolk.

As aforementioned, modern or contemporary techniques of producing murals came much later, and it was only during the early years of the sixteenth century that oil on canvas artists began producing decorative canvas artworks as murals. However, the only drawback of using this form of painting is that the binder normally used, reduces the quality of pigments and makes them assume an unpleasant look if subjected to bad climatic conditions.

Custom wall murals are exciting and creates an impeccable visual expression. That is perhaps the main drive behind their exponential rise in popularity. The gigantic size of the painting leaves many people caught up in admiration. And if asked whether they prefer conventional paints to murals, a viewer will simply attest that the latter trumps all other kinds of pictorial art.

The pictures on the wall can bolster your profit margins, according to researches. In fact, the several colors painted, blend well to create a powerful character in a room and this has a great impact on the emotions of a viewer. Emotions, on the other hand, are known to evoke impulse buying. Moreover, the colors usher in new clients because they simply cannot resist the bold edges of the images represented walls.

Furthermore, unlike paint, a wall mural is more efficient. Paints usurp a substantial amount of time, and take too long before fully drying. With murals, painting is done within the shortest time possible, followed by a short term drying session. Subsequently, installation is done with ease.
