Mural Painting 🎨

Hello steemians! Happy new month to everyone. I hope you had a great time last month. December is here again. Month of Christmas celebration. My dear members of @worldofxpilar I am here to share a realistic murals commission piece I did for my friend. The job was a huge one, so I could not do it alone. I went with my friend Udeme Nkereuwem. It made us worked easily and faster. This year we did a few jobs together. I hopefully think next year will be better than this year.

Materials

Paper	Wall
Size	07/04 feet
Pencils/Paint	graphite pencil and acrylic paint
Eraser	nataraj vynil eraser and mat paint
Camera	infinix mobile phone
Duration	Approximately 25 hours
Location	Outside (client's home)

Here are the steps on how I did the murals painting.
I drew my grid lines on the wall and made my sketch then started applying the acrylic paint gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the eyes, down to nose and lips. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I was told that my client will really appreciate a good work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who my client may be.
I myself love how I went about detailing the face. Udeme Nkereuwem assisted me during the process.I was told that my client is based in the United States of America, so I did everything possible to impress him. He was always on a video call with his brother down here. Telling him to inspect the job till finishing.
The work was very challenging so I had to go along with another artist who was good in murals. It took us two days to finish it. As you can see in the pictures. It is a figure of a naked lady holding flowers with her both hands while her feet look like a root of a big tree.🌲 Such artwork are called abstract. They can be explained in so many ways.
I really appreciate when clients expresses their reaction towards my finishing. It gives me joy.
Just go through the progress shots. I hope you love it and also learn from me.
