Mascots are objects, animals or persons used to symbolize a group with public identity like brand name, military unit, society, professional sports team and school. They are usually confused with their team nicknames, although they could be interchangeable at times. These can adopt the form of costumed characters, inanimate objects, live animals, persons or logos.
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 the wall where you will paint the murals is clean and does not have any structural problems or moisture damage. If you notice some cracks, spackle them but sometimes it has hidden issues which will cause cracks again eventually. Check closely for the presence of grease, oil, wax, dirt or mold and clean them thoroughly.
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 dry properly and apply the acrylic primer after on its entirety and you may start painting now directly. You can also add texture like applying plaster and create an intriguing surface although its effect to the final result is unsure. If your preference is painting on unstretched canvass then glue it on first before you painted on it.
When painting, sketch first your design using a pencil based on the image you prepare and enlarge it using techniques like the grid method or an art projector. After the outline is done then begin underpainting consisting of big blocks of color and more details would be painted over after. You can use mural techniques that are similar with painting ones in putting details.
Sponging is good for creating texture like clouds on the sky and leaves on trees and a color could be sponged on another to create more depth. This technique is useful for quickly filling colors in large areas. Wet your sponge first then squeeze excess water out and lightly dip it to the paint, softly blot it on some paper to avoid overloading of paint.
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 you are finished making your mural, next is to protect it and ensure its beauty stays longer by sealing it. Apply an isolation coat and varnish with matte or satin sheen because glossy ones are too reflective. Check its bottle for instructions about the right ratio with water before applying it.
