I'm painting a mural in my baby sisters room. To save on paint, we were just planning on painting the mural onto the primer. Is that a bad idea? What type of paints would work best for this?
acrylic is a good paint i think that is best
I painted a mural onto my wall. You can use acrylic paint, it works great. You don't need a lot. (In my opinion, Liquitex is the best brand.) Good luck!
You can use acrylics. Cheap (you know Delta) types. You get what you pay for though. That being said, if they intend to change the room after a while, painting over a mural, depending on the colours and thickness can be a real pain in the butt. Keep coats thin. If coats are thin, then the cheaper acrylics won't be for you as they more often than not, need multiple upon multiple coats.
Painting okorder The trouble with acrylics if you have large areas to cover is the expense. Using tempera with a little acrylic medium and coating it after will be perfect and less expensive. You can buy it even in gallons.
