Debra, please tell me how to paint underwater and cloudy sky murals for my children's rooms. 

I get these requests often… and I am determined to create a video showing all the detailed techniques I use. Of course… it's not happenin' yet. 

So I am putting up a few pictures of some underwater murals I have painted for clients and a few tips.  Plus, one reader also wanted a picture of a cloudy sky. I have included a sky photo, but I didn't include one with cartoon clouds.  Ahhh, maybe I'll get more pictures up soon.

Here they are:

So…. can you see that the blue in the underwater mural and the blue used for the sky mural is the same blue? I just added more of the deep blue overglaze to the underwater scene.

The clouds in the sky mural are painted with white, gray and sunset colors.  

Clouds must float across the sky in the same direction, of the viewer could become disoriented.

The two bottom underwater pictures are cartoon critters painted at a daycare.

The other underwater pictures are from bathrooms and little boys rooms.  Instead of sharks you could paint mermaids for a girls room.
