Storybook mural I painted for my baby niece’s nursery

This was my first time doing anything like this. I sketched it out using chalk and used mostly sample paints + glaze for layering. I was going for that dreamy watercolor feel but wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. Took me a few days on and off. Progress pics are first—final mural is at the end! I’m definitely not a painter or anything close to a fine artist, but I really wanted it to feel soft and sweet—like a little storybook scene. I was going for a chalky pastel / watercolor look. It’s not perfect, but I’m honestly pretty happy with how it turned out. Just wanted to share in case it gives someone else inspo! submitted by /u/kay_tea_1 [link] [comments]
