Mural Illusions

If you're at all familiar with the "Twilight" vampire book & movie series, you'll know how popular it is currently. I recently was commissioned to paint a wall mural in a teenagers' bedroom of the main character, Edward Cullen.

Like most murals I do, I projected the image onto the wall and traced it with chalk. This mural is roughly 4ftx6ft. Then I embarked on the journey of adding layers of latex housepaints to bring the image alive. With this particular character (being a vampire) I also added a special feature...glitter to the facepaint...so in certain light he sparkles.
