Book excerpt: Are you ready to try your hand at painting a mural? Have you wondered how to find clients who will pay you to paint? In this handbook you will learn how to: Find clients Develop a site-specific design Select the right materials Block in a mural Build an art business that is sustainable and fun Mural art is exploding. It has leapfrogged over its traditionally circumspect reputation by the "art establishment" into a full-blown renaissance for the medium. The current popularity of mural art is fueled by grassroots political activism and community placemaking, as well as increased demand for eye-catching photos on social media, including "selfie moments" and one-of-a-kind interior design. The Mural Artist's Handbook is a "nuts and bolts" guide on how to paint a mural for anyone wanting to jump in on the current mural art trend. Morgan draws on her 20-year career as a mural artist to lay bare the "Wild West" of mural art. This handbook provides detailed project considerations for a variety of clients, including residential, schools, commercial, and publicly-funded mural projects. This handbook also unlocks the mystery of how to find steady, paid work as a mural artist so that artists can spend the best hours of their days, week after week, building mastery in the craft of painting murals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much more than just another guide to artists’ materials, The Painter’s Handbook is an amazingly useful resource, with information on everything from the canvas up: the canvas itself, plus paper, sizes and grounds, pigments and binders, solvents and thinners, varnishes and preservatives. Dozens of step-by-step recipes for make-it-yourself paints, pastels, varnishes, gessoes, sizes, supports, and equipment take this indispensable guide way beyond the competition. Authoritatively written by Mark David Gottsegen, chair of the federal government’s ASTM committee on artist’s materials, the revised Painter’s Handbook considers the enormous changes in the art-materials world since the first edition was published in 1993. New materials, new health issues, new information on outmoded and even harmful supplies and practices mean that every painter needs a copy of The Painter’s Handbook.

Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to painting murals both inside and outside the home, whether it's a child's room, entryway, kitchen, or garden. Patricia Seligman begins with a brief history of this art form, with photographs of unique mural paintings throughout the world. She follows with demonstrations on how to prepare a wall surface for painting and how to select the materials for the job. Artists will learn how to choose an appropriate subject for their mural, select colors that will create the desired effect, and transfer their design to the final surface. They'll learn as they create, step-by-step, any one of the eight different murals presented--including one for a child's room, a bathroom, a study, a hallway, and a ceiling. Through these projects, artists will discover how murals can be used to create visual tricks with the eye, provide a focal point to a room, create illusion of added space, render textures and more.

Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this book is to relay the wisdom I have gained over the years relating to making money with art. The focus will be on murals because that is the artistic path I have walked and the subject I know most about. However, this is not a book to teach you how to paint murals but rather one that can teach you how to make money with an oversized paint brush. The majority of this book can relate to anyone building any type of art business. It is my pleasure to share my strategies for gaining new customers through a variety of methods, including social media. Come with me as I share with you the mental shifts and mistakes I had to make, there were a lot of them, along the way to open myself up for success in the art industry. While all of our journeys are destined to be different, I want to help you speed up the process of reaching success and finally making a living doing what you truly love to do.
