My Mural Journey & Experience

I'll share my personal journey of transitioning from digital painting to large-scale mural art. I'll be using a small wall in my own home as a practical example, allowing for a detailed walkthrough of my design process and how I adapt it to suit the space and desired mood. I'll also share the lessons I learned along the way, including how I overcame initial anxieties about tackling a large mural project.
