amateur nursery mural painting

I've always enjoyed art, but never really got into painting besides watercolor. I wanted to have something cute on the walls of my baby's room and wanted to do something more personal. This was my practice flower in a corner behind the door in case I hated it.

I didn't totally hate it.

So I moved onto the main wall behind the crib. Left side.

Right side.

Finished flowers. The quilted changing pad was a homemade gift.

I tried to freehand the name. But couldn't get it straight or in a way that I liked, so I borrowed a projector and used the font Hello Honey. I changed up the B a little bit, but other than that it's just traced.

First in black paint with a paint pen.

Then I went over the paint pen with paint and tried to do a gradient from lighter brown to darker brown to match the flowers better.

Final product. I'm so happy with how it came out and I put so much love into it. My baby is just a baby so she doesn't care, but I hope someday she will look back and love it and know that it was painted with love.
