We are moving house in a couple of weeks and I rather fancy the idea of doing a bit of a mural onto DS2's bedroom wall but as I have never tried this before I would appreciate some advice!
I plan to paint the bottom part of the room in blue and the top in yellow - I did this in current house and it looks really nice, like a beach. So, I wanted to try recreating this in the new room with added fish / seaweed / octupus / chest of treasure etc.
I would obviously use normal emulsion to do the blue and yellow main colours, but what type of paint should I use for the fish etc? I don't want to be buying huge amounts of emulsion paints as there would be too much and it would be very expensive, but I do want quite a wide range of colours and for it to last.
What do all you creative types use for this?Is it something you do with cheap poster paints and then varnish over? Or is there special paints for this type of thing?
Many thanks
