Step One:
Select the image or design that you want to use for your mural. The design can be one you've drawn yourself or one you've found on a greeting card, in a coloring book or from another source.
Step Two:
Prepare a color copy and a black and white copy of the image. Use the copy machine to enlarge the image to a size at which you can easily see all the details.
Step Three:
Using the black and white copy, make a transparency of the image/design. Most office supply stores have transparency sheets available for purchase.
You can use a copier or scanner to make the black and white transparency, or have a local office supply store or copy center assist you.
Step Four:
Select one of our high lumens Overhead Projectors PC7000 or PC7005.
Step Five:
Place the white and black transparency on top of overhead projector stage glass.
Turn the projector on and project the design onto the area you plan to paint. Adjust the projector until the image is the desired size. Make sure the projector is squarely situated in front of the wall. If it is angled, it will distort the image. In case you need to move the projector before you are finished, mark the position of the projector with masking tape.
Step Six:
Outline (trace) the projected image on the wall carefully with a soft pencil.
Step Seven:
Using the color copy of the image, purchase the paint you need for your mural.
Step Eight:
Paint the large areas of your mural first, using a wide, flat paintbrush. Add details and outline images with a round paintbrush.
Step Nine:
After the paint is completely dry, erase all pencil marks.
