What Does a Mural Painter Do?
A mural painter designs and paints large works of art. She traditionally creates her works of art on surfaces at least the size of a typical wall or ceiling in a residential home. She may work on large commercial projects, city beautification projects or be hired to paint a mural for a private residence. The mural may be designed to be permanent or temporary. Temporary murals are often used for advertising, promotion or to craft a specific scene or theme for a holiday or special event. Depending on the location of the mural, the type of paint she uses varies. Indoor murals can generally be produced with almost any paint the artist chooses. Outdoor murals are traditionally created with paints that are highly resistant to rain, snow, wind and dirt.
