  • It's time to repaint over this mural in my office for a fresh (easier to film against) look and I'm so excited to take you along for the process. I'll be sharing some of my tips for painting a mural on your wall, some of the mistakes that I made and my favorite supplies for mural painting. I hope you find this video helpful and encouraging as you tackle your own indoor wall mural-be sure to leave any questions that you have in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them.

    Wow 🤩… I loved the old wall, but this one is even better…all the details in it, it’s fresh and joyful.
    I love it!

    Your new wall mural is absolutely gorgerous!!! I love the light blue, the soft white, and the outlines make it all pop! It is defintely in your iconic style - elegant, beautiful, dancing florals & friends! I am so glad you persevered through the hard parts to create something truly magical & enchanting!!! Marvelously done!!! (And I totally agree with your inspirational quote - Not only can you do it, You DID do it very successfully!!)

      Oh I’m glad you like it! I’ve brainstormed many murals but rarely have the courage or motivation to paint them. You have to remember that it’s only paint and very easy to cover and start over 😊

    They are both beautiful and so different from each other. I prefer the first one but again they are both gorgeous. You’re so talented!

      You’re not alone! I still miss the old wall from time to time even though I’m happy with the new one. Those large blooms were just hard to beat!

    Beautiful! Very fresh looking. It is nice to know that others struggle with self doubt and don't always get things "right" on the first try. Thanks for the down to earth post and tips. :)

    • @katrinacrouch
      @katrinacrouch  3 роки тому +1

      I’m glad that was helpful! I honestly went back and forth with including it, but I think it’s important to know that I still try and fail at things too! Every good idea/painting has a few bad ideas/paintings behind it that don’t get time in the light. That’s supposed to happen! But sometimes we forget :)

      Oh thank you! You just made my day-it happened by accident for me-I was playing around on the wall before painting it and found it surprisingly easy! It’s more of a mental hurdle than a skill issue

    Both murals are beautiful! I like your loose flowy style. Do you seal your murals? If so, do you recommend a certain product?

    • @katrinacrouch
      @katrinacrouch  9 місяців тому

      I don’t seal it! It’s regular wall paint, so pretty secure. Also, my kids aren’t in my office a ton so no crazy traffic or mess, hah

      Oh, thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly!! The mural I painted is in a Realtors office and will be used as a "backdrop" for photo opportunity and hence will see quite a bit of action. I have surfed the big wide web and now am completely overwhelmed in what to use 😆

    Beautiful! Do you think that someone who is not so confident with their painting could accomplish something similar using stencils?💕

    • @katrinacrouch
      @katrinacrouch  3 роки тому +1

      I suppose if you found something that you liked on a stencil, then yes! But if you can paint on paper, you can paint on a wall-if there’s something you would like to have on your wall! Practice a few times on large scrap paper or newspaper and then try the wall!

    Beautiful painting, but may I ask - did you use acrylic paint for the soft brown?

    • @katrinacrouch
      @katrinacrouch  3 роки тому

      I did not! I used regular wall paint for all of the colors! I always use traditional interior wall paint for my (interior) murals because I figure it is designed to be used for that surface (and I want them to last!)
