Mascots are persons, objects or animals used for symbolizing a group which has public identity such as professional sports team, society, brand name, school and military unit. They are confused usually with the nicknames of their team though they can sometimes be interchangeable. These adopt the forms of persons, live animals, costumed characters, logos, and inanimate objects.
Schools display their images all around the campus to increase the morale of students and remind visitors of where they are. Their costumes are usually worn during sports and social events and others have school mascot murals painted somewhere everyone could see. Here are several things you need to do when you want to create one.
Ensure the wall that murals will be painted on is clean and have no moisture damage or any structural problems. If you notice several cracks then spackle them though it may have hidden issues that would eventually cause it to have cracks again. Closely check for presence of wax, dirt, mold, grease or oil and have them thoroughly cleaned.
Prime the wall because it would help in letting the paint stick more easily and could be applied directly over already existing drawings. Although if you want your mural to last longer then some preparatory measures should be done before painting. Acrylic coats adhere better and longer when the existing ones are stripped with sanding block dip in a mild solution to lessen the dust.
Allow the wall to properly dry and apply on its entirety after the acrylic primer and you may now start painting directly. You can add texture also like plaster application and create intriguing surface but its effect on the final result will not be sure. If you prefer painting on an unstretched canvass then first, glue it one before it is painted.
When painting, first sketch your design with a pencil based upon the prepared image then enlarge it with art projector or grid method techniques. After doing the outline, begin underpainting, which consist of large blocks of color that more details are painted on after. You could use mural techniques which are similar to the painting ones for putting details.
Sponging is good to create texture like leaves on trees or clouds on sky and sponging color over another could be done for more depth. The technique is useful to fill in colors quickly on bigger areas. First, wet your sponge then squeeze out the excess water and lightly dip it on paint then blot it softly on some paper for overloading to be avoided.
Stippling is done by applying thin coats over an underpainting, either a lighter or darker shade of it, after it has dried. While the new coat is wet, use a stippling brush to dab around the new color until that layer is stippled. If correctly done then the result will not look brushed and some underpainting would be seen through.
After finishing the mural, protecting it is next for ensuring the longevity of its beauty using seals. Apply isolation coats then varnish with satin or matte sheen because glossy are very reflective. Check the bottle for instructions regarding the ratio for mixing it with water.
