TODAY I MURAL PAINTED MY FIRST MURAL WITH APRIL KEOGH AND BMSAC ( BLUE MOUNTAINS STREET ART COLLABORATIVE)
Today I painted my first mural!
It was really intriguing seeing how it was all made!
It was painted with Solargard to block in colors and over the top we used spray cans fo different effects.
April Keogh runs the projects for the railways. This year she has 33 projects of murals around the community to be done and this mural was dedicated to Springwood Community!
We collaborated with BMSAC (Blue mountains Street Art Collaborative) which is a community of aerosol artists who partake in doing murals in legal avenues for the community.
Jarrod the head of BMSAC showed me how to paint with spray cans as I never used them before!
I've always wanted to learn and this was my opportunity!
The technique is to first mark out your subject with your spray can then , and draw like you do with a pencil with very quick agile strokes about 3 inches from the wall for thinner lines.
For thicker lines you stand furthur back and to block in color. It is a process of spraying it line by line so you get an even finish.
Don't be fooled thinking it is an easy way of painting , it really isn't! Like every type of art it takes time to master the technique.
Alot of people drove past us slowly to watch the mural being painted ! The public gave alot of great feedback saying how they just love what we had accomplished! Others just watched from afar putting our thumbs up at us saying Don't let us disturb you! Keep going!
The wall was 100 metres , so we had alot to cover.
I had a wonderful day painting , you gain alot of knowledge just by listening and
watching everyone paint, as everyone has their own particular technique.
BMSAC & April Keogh have have various projects of murals scheduled around
every 2 weeks I am looking forward to participating!
Giving back to the community and creating art for a good cause!
You too can join us and create murals for the community!

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN SYDNEY AND INTERESTED IN ART CLASSES READ THIS!
I teach Art classes from my house Monday, Friday and the weekends at 12 pm.
I teach using a range of mediums including :- Graphite,Acrylics,Watercolor, Pen & Ink, Oils.
I focus for EXCELLENT results from my students each and every lesson.
I will teach you how to draw and paint from the basics up.
It doesn't matter If you don't have an artistic bone in your body. I will teach you the structure, of how to draw anatomically correct where you can apply it to every drawing or painting you start.
You will see the results in your painting. The difference between a structured painting to an unplanned painting.
What most artists don't realize,is drawing is the foundation to every artwork. I am a firm believer in this concept.
If you plan your painting out properly and keep your drawing simple and follow the guidelines
I tell you , you will get the results you desire.
What I always emphasize to my students is you have to enjoy every task I put before you
and practice! pratice! practice! and you will definately become better and start seeing every object in a different perspective.
You will be able to disect a painting,see the colors underneath, how it was made and use it as inspiration for a new piece you will work on.
Here are some examples of my students progress through my Wildlife Art Lessons.
Teaching my student how to mark up his subject onto a canvas
Using simplified shapes as his guideline he creates the right anatomically correct shape.
The Underpainting - teaching my student how to build up form in his painting

My student doing his tonal study in graphite - finding his darks to his lights.
The less specific the better the drawing
Using simplified shapes as his guideline he creates the right anatomically correct shape.
This is my students Art project he is working on.
Even with drawing Manga charcters you have to have an understanding of the human anatomy.
In my manga classes I will teach you how to better you skills and improve in the understanding of the human form with various exercises.
