It's such a coincidence that you did this video because I was thinking about doing a mural for my nephews bedroom and this video helped me with a checklist for the things I would need to have for the job , so thanks Fieldey! Keep it up!
Thanks Ramon! Put a pic up on Instagram when you finish it - it'd be awesome to see it!

I bought plastic spoons and cups from paint mixing. Then I use mason jars to preserve the colors from day to day for my big projects.
im painting my first mural in january this video has been soo helpful..until then its sketching time until i get given my brief on what im gonna be painting :)
Yay!! Good luck with the mural!
Haha, wish I could have found a video like this when I started my first mural a couple months ago! Now I'll now for future reference :) Thanks for sharing!
Awww, I hope you didn't miss out on too many things? I still always forget one crucial item when I'm painting a wall.
Looks like you come prepared!
Thank you for the mention! brilliant video as usual!
Great, clear tutorial - love your work!
You've got it covered! Very nice tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
I've just been commissioned to do my first wall mural in a residential home for the elderly, I have a vague idea of how to price it up but would be interested in hearing your thoughts on costing a job, only just found you by the way and already think you're awesome!
thanks for your postings and I have subscribed.
kindest regards
Dan.
Welcome aboard Dan! Thanks for the comment - pricing is always super tricky, for murals I do a day rate as that is the easiest to calculate how long something will take, and also easy for the client to understand.
As always, another awesome video with great info. Looking forward to the next already
Thanks dude! X
Awesome tips! I don't have a mural coming up but I do have a masterpiece in a day coming in September 24th which I'm going to use some spray painting techniques that I've learned from you and some mixed media techniques I've learned on my own. love your videos thank you so much for easy to follow instructions
Good luck with the masterpiece in a day! I've found sprays are really good for that kind of thing as you can create backgrounds really fast with minimal drying time. Thanks for commenting!

Great job! Your videos are very helpful. 😎👍
Yo! Just discovered your videos recently. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. :) Right in the middle of painting a surfboard commission at the moment (which is what initially led me to your vids). Anywayz, i'll totally hashtag my thing when it's done. Thanks again! Lu
Thanks Lu! Defs hashtag it - I'd love to see it!
Really helpful thanks for sharing! :) Are there any special products you use for outside murals to clean the wall beforehand and to varnish it afterwards so it doesn't fade? I'm gonna do my first one soon and not sure if I will need it or not :O
love your work and ur style!! preciate it
I live in the United States and I was wondering if you knew how I could order the paints that you use for your murals? In particular how do you prep an outdoor mural wall before you add the white exterior primer? How long do garentee the quality of the outdoor murals of at all? I've only done interior walls but I am going to start working outside and was thinking about trying the paints that you use! Your work is amazing and I love the vibrant colors! Thanks!
Hi Sarah, sorry, I have no idea where you can get these paints in the states, but your best bet is to just switch to using exterior quality house paints - the best you can afford. I haven't needed to prime the walls before I paint them, or I would ask the client to prime the wall beforehand.
thank you for posting these! Very helpful. Any suggestion for an alley wall mural. Using a projector to place the sketch. There isn't much room. Also How long to you let underpants dry before you apply again. Thank you!!!
thanks heaps, this video really help
Glad to hear it!
Nice sharing 👌👌
Thank you for this video!!!! Really helpful
love your videos!
what paint do you suggest to use for outdoor murals that are not so expensive? I'll be doing my first mural very soon. :) thanks!
It depends what you like to use (e.g. aerosols or acrylics) but I'd recommend normal house paint. Good luck!
Great info. thank you.
Great tips! Thanks
Thank you for your help !!!!
Thank you for the video. I want to know what kind of brushes do you use ? And are those natural hairs or synthetic hairs on the brushes ?
This has some info on the brushes I use in particular: ua-cam.com/video/GkhDYLi5pcU/v-deo.html&list=PLE4WDAQwdbUph60pvVxznjXHBHhxdsaDG&index=3 but in general the big brushes are synthetic and I have some really good quality smaller natural hair brushes.
Fieldey TV: Art & Tutorials Thank you 😊
Great video! Can I ask you what the name of your epson projector is? It's a jungle out there with all those projectors.
Oh yeah, there are so many to choose from! I'm not sure I'd recommend mine, it's an older one and it's pretty low res, so when you project from far away you're looking at giant pixels projected on the wall. I'd probably be more inclined to choose a smaller, more powerful model that doesn't need an external power source.
Thank you! Now I have an idea of what to look for! 👍🏼
SWEET
great vid, take my like, and respect
I'm planning on doing a cinder block wall....any tips I'm lost....I have one shot paint....HEEEELP!
Argh! Sorry - I haven't painted cinderblock before... I'm sure you'd be best to prime it with something though to stop the paint soaking in immediately.
That's a nice Mercedes's 450 GL
packing list 3:37
fab video.what do i use to seal an exterior mural against UV & rain please
If you used exterior house paint then it doesn't need to be sealed.
Thank you, and how much this projector costed you?
I think it was around $250?
@@FieldeyTV alright thanks
Hey! Have you painted on concrete sidewalks? Any tips on what type of paint to use there that is durable and compatible with concrete?
I'm sorry, I haven't worked on concrete before - what did you end up using?
How did you price out your Mural?
When finished a piece do you put protection of somekind over it??Like varnish??
Not normally, but a client might decide to anti-graffiti coat the work to protect it.
@@FieldeyTV thanks alot
What’s the name of the paint that you used
I was using an Australian brand called Viponds
these paints in cans are emulsion paints right ... it is the first day i got interested so i dont know even a little that's why asking ...
They're acrylic-based... not sure if that's the same thing?
hahahaha legit pro tip
