Mascots are persons, objects or animals used for symbolizing a group which has public identity such as professional sports team, society, brand name, school and military unit. They are confused usually with the nicknames of their team though they can sometimes be interchangeable. These adopt the forms of persons, live animals, costumed characters, logos, and inanimate objects.
Schools display the images all across the campus for increasing morale of students or reminding visitors of their current location. Their costumes are worn usually during social and sports events and others paint school mascot murals on walls where everyone can see them. Here are a few things to do when you plan or were assigned on creating one.
Make sure that wall where you would paint the murals has been cleaned and without any structural problems and moisture damage. If some cracks are noticeable then spackle them but it sometimes has hidden issues that will cause cracks eventually again. Check closely for any presence of oil, wax, dirt, mold or grease and thoroughly clean them.
Prime your wall as it will help for letting the paint more easily stick and can be applied over its existing drawings directly. It you want a longer lasting mural then some measure in preparation must be done before starting your painting. Acrylic coats have longer and better adherence if existing ones will be stripped off using sanding block and dust is lessened when dipped with mild solution.
Let the wall properly dry and apply acrylic primer on its entire surface after and you might start painting directly now. You could add texture also such as applying plaster to create intriguing surfaces though its effects on final results would not be certain. If painting on the unstretched canvass is what you prefer then glue it first before it has been painted.
When painting, first sketch your design with a pencil based upon the prepared image then enlarge it with art projector or grid method techniques. After doing the outline, begin underpainting, which consist of large blocks of color that more details are painted on after. You could use mural techniques which are similar to the painting ones for putting details.
Sponging is good to create texture like leaves on trees or clouds on sky and sponging color over another could be done for more depth. The technique is useful to fill in colors quickly on bigger areas. First, wet your sponge then squeeze out the excess water and lightly dip it on paint then blot it softly on some paper for overloading to be avoided.
Stippling is done through applying thin coats of either a lighter shade or darker one over a dried underpainting. Use stippling brush while that new coat is still wet and dab it around until the new layer is stippled. The result would not look brushed if done correctly and some underpainting will be seen.
When the mural is finished, next is protecting and ensuring its beauty would stay longer with seals. Apply isolation coats and varnish with either matte sheen or satin one because glossy are reflective. Check the instructions in its bottle for the right varnish and water ratio.
