Fabric Mural Painting Workshop Video (Part 1) - WIFD™

Step by Step Tutorial

• Choose a fabric of your choice.
  There are various types of farbics but Cotton, Linen or Denim would be a better choice.
• Select a sketch of any Mural design you would like to paint
• Wash the fabric and let it dry.
  Washing removes finishing chemicals and other substances like waxes, starch, or stain resisters.
• Now trace the design onto your fabric using tracing sheets or carbon paper.
  Make sure the color of the carbon is not too prominent on your cloth. Here we have choose Yellow color carbon for white piece of cloth. Carbon paper are available in Yellow, Blue, Black, Red, White etc...
• Take a small portion of Yellow fabric color on your palette.
• Gently start applying a thin coat of yellow color from the centre of the design towards the sides.
• Let it dry.
• Draw a narrow line with red color around the painted portion as outline.
• Let the paint dry before you move on to the next step.
• Mix equal portions of Red and Yellow color to obtain Orange color
• Starting from the outline gently stroke orange color towards the centre of the design.
  Make sure you stroke your brush in one particular direction only. To blend both the colors (orange and yellow), dip your brush in plain water and gently stroke it over the applied colors.
• Draw a narrow line as border with the color black to provide prominence.
• Leave the cloth for 5-6 hours till the paint is completely dry
