Third wall painting - A Unicorn

I set myself a hard challenge today...a rearing unicorn.

Thought I would try something trickier yesterday. I know I am no artist, but I am very pleased with the end result and my daughter absolutely loves it.

I started by roughly sketching an outline and then started to fill it with colour a bit at a time.

I worked my way down the body and painted the legs

Then I painted in the face and long flowing mane.

Next the tail...

and finally the unicorn's horn.

Voila!! A purple unicorn that fits in well in my daughters princess and fairy tale theme bedroom.

Another wall painting

I have painted a banner with my daughters name on, carried by bluebirds. It will be above her bed once I get the furniture back in place. 

I started by drawing a rough sketch, you can just about see it.

I painted it pink to match the castle. I mixed up 5 shades to get the shadow and highlight effects.

Next I painted some cute little bluebirds,

and then some ribbons.

Finally I painted in her name. As you can see I'm not very good at lettering, good thing there's only 3 letters

Here's the finished banner.

I decided to paint some birds. You can see in this pic the eraser marks behind the castle where I was going to paint a rainbow but changed my mind. I will have to paint over it with blue again.

I painted some birds,

 flowers and insects.

These low down ones will be hidden by Mia's bed, but as its a cabin bed she plays under it, so these will be a little surprize for her to find.

The result so far, not sure what to paint on the other walls yet.

My next bedroom project is going to be a little trickier than the last

I enjoyed painting my sons room so much that I decided to go the whole hog in my daughters. I am attempting to paint wall murals around the room. This is what I've done so far....
I started by painting the wall blue and adding some clouds all around the room.

Then I sketched a castle and started to paint it pink.

This is the main body of the castle finished, sorry about the photo, but I couldnt block out the sun as I have taken the curtains down.

Next I painted the turrets, flags and a door

A closer look.

Finally I painted in some windows...

and added some highlights...

and Voila !! A fairy princess castle
