What patterns can be done in custom painting? One technique that is used for custom paint designs are punch patterns where images or graphics are blown up. If you involve graphics into that or if you involve...
If you involve graphics into that or if you involve a punch pattern in this area, you would have something in mind, a scenery in mind. You take it to the graphics place where they make a blow-up picture of what you want. You want it to look like a work of art. So, you take that picture, blown-up to the size of the wall that you are going to paint on using the punch pattern. In punch pattern, all you do is punch holes so it can connect. On a punch pattern, what you do is get a blue or red chalk and you punch the chalk on to the punch pattern itself. It goes into the little hole on the punch pattern and you punch the outline. When you pull the paper off the wall, then you can see the outline of the chalk on the wall. You remember that in the old days, you had to connect the dots and then the section would appear to be this number. You know you have to have a creative imagination to make that whole picture blend together. That is where you know the artist in each person comes out, some more than others. Everybody has an artistic point-of-view and artistic talent, some more than others. Some look real and some look not so real, but it's an artist's style of painting. So, if you do your style of painting, there is still somebody else's interpretation. It will never look the same, though both styles look good.
The most unique design I've ever done was a tropical scene on a wall. In the end, the owners paid more for the design than what they paid for the wall. When I was done with the work, I was proud, because it was going to be there for all time. It cost between 3,000 and 4,000 dollars to do, and it took two weeks to complete. It takes time. You can't rush it.
