What is mural wall painting?
Some people make no distinction between painting and mural painting. However, there is a big difference between these two things. Painting is a general term for creating images, while a mural is a painting directly on a wall. Murals are usually painted by a team. They develop an idea, a concept, and a visualization. Murals can be a great addition to:
- House walls and facades;
- Public areas;
- Commercial buildings or exteriors;
- Private residences.
Murals can range in size from small-scale designs to massive, intricate works that cover entire buildings. These particular paintings are often used to convey a message or tell a story, and can be created in a variety of styles, from realistic renderings to abstract designs. It’s also possible to paint them for commercial purposes. They can increase brand awareness and help a brand stand out from other businesses.
How can we make a mural on a wall?
We use different techniques for painting on walls. Here is an example of our favorite work — painting murals on brick walls. The idea was to integrate the wall into the work of art so that it works only as a whole. So we used spray cans, tape and our skills of combining colors with a brick surface.
However, mostly we work with such materials as:
- colored paint;
- spray paint;
- adhesive tape;
- stencils.

FAQS
The popularity of tape art is growing steadily, not least because it has established itself as a good alternative to various other urban art styles. Artworks made of tape often look more spectacular than, for example, classical graffiti. Tape is also easier to handle and can be removed if necessary. We mainly use very common types of tape which are usually flexible and waterproof at the same time. They can be brought into shape with a few simple handles and are also available in an almost unparalleled variety of colors. Thus, various hue gradations can be implemented. The tapes remain colorfast even after processing. Apart from cutters and a few rolls of tape we usually do not need any other tools for creating our artworks. And it takes relatively little time to do it. We hardly produce any rubbish or waste.
No one thinks of becoming a tape artist from the outset. Before we began taping almost all of us (Selfmadecrew members) tried out fine arts with a brush or spray can. Until we finally discovered the right thing for us: rolls of adhesive tape. And we would take to tape like a duck to water! Colorful vs. transparent, matt vs. shiny, wide vs. slim, any variety with its own texture that inspires and fuels all of us. But we don’t allow ourselves to delve too much into theory. By going out to the streets and working there with tape, we receive instant feedback. We get people‘s reactions and emotions right away – something invaluable to us.
