I realize the steps to painting a mural could have sounded a bit confusing when using the grid technique, Here it is in steps...

STEP 1- Have your sketch and wall be the same measurement in relation to each other. ( If the wall is a square, then your sketch or photo better also be a square)

STEP 2- Download the grid app and get your sketch gridded. I like to have multiple grids but this is entirely up to you and the amount of specificity you would like.

STEP 3- On your wall, measure the length or width in order to be able to divide it by the number of boxes on the same side of your grid. If you have a 100ft. wall and your grid is has 10 boxes on each side, divide 100 by 10. This will give you the size of a single box/grid, which is crucial. I have also done it so that if I don't measure the whole length of the building, I find a measurement on the building that I can use to give me an indication of size. This could be from window to window, floor to floor etc.

STEP 4- I cut a piece of cardboard, wood etc. that corresponds with the length of the grid ( or half of it) and carry that with me as I make my marks on the wall. You can use charcoal or chalk for these lines in you want them wiped away easily.

STEP 5- I use a level on my wood and almost always begin on the length side of the building and go across horizontally. I keep my level straight and only add marks to the edges. I find there is no need for the full lines. I personally will add smaller squares within the grid in the most detailed areas and will use different marks when doing so.

STEP 6- Think of yourself as a typewriter... Always coming back to the original side you started on (left or right doesn't matter but you have to stick with it!) and getting all your grid marks on. I usually just do the large ones and add smaller grids as I progress on the piece.

STEP 7- Draw your outline OR just start painting! Always making sure to check your reference to see if you are in the right place.
