Artists for murals on walls

[lizwizz]

My daughter wants a dolphin painted on her bedroom wall. I am hopeless at art and wondered if anyone could tell me an inexpensive way of having it done. I have thought of ringing the university and seeing if any art students would be interested. Is that an option?

Type into Google . . . Dolphin Stencil

There are many ideas there

It is not as hard as you think if you find a pic you like and then do a grid of squares over the pic and then do big squares on the wall and follow the lines.

Do you have access to an overhead projector? get a pic of a dolphin, project it on the wall and trace around it.

All good ideas... or you could consider this:

Dont pay a lot of money to get this done - after spending �200 to have Thomas the Tank Engine painted on my sons wall -he announced he was fed up with Thomas!

Try it yourself and get your daughter to help with the colouring in - she'll appreciate it more having done some of the work herself

art students would jump at thhe chance of earning a few beers.

just look at their portfollio before commiting!

As an artist of 43 with 20 yrs of experience of muralling, I know lots of people. Where abouts in the country are you?
DO you want a finding nemo like one or a real life one
what about having one done on some board that you can take down when she is no longer a mermaid?
