A while back, I painted a mural in my kids room. It was my first attempt at a wall mural and it was lots of fun.
I started by drawing a grid of the wall and sketching out my ideas. This helped me to get a basic idea of scale for the planets. I measured out a few key distances and then I mostly just free-handed the whole thing. I used samples of several different colors of paint and blended the together as I needed. And I definitely let my kids leave hand prints in the corner as a final touch :)
Here is a little video showing the process. Enjoy!
