Hand Lettering for Chalk Murals

Super! Molodec! Ochen' vdoxnovilo :)

Natasha, you are a true inspiration, your art is very lovely! I could stare it at it in awe for hours and hours! Absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing  your art witht the world!

Wow! DACHA вообще супер классно написано! ;)))))))

This i just absoultely lovely! Your florals are stunning. I especially love the big pink one in the top left corner :)

Thank you Kristin! That flower was the first one :)

Natasha, this is so gorgeous I could cry! Your floral illustration is stunning and the pop of colour is very striking. I'm just in love! Great layout, incredible detail, and beautiful impact.

Tabitha, I'm so touched by your words. That's very important for me to hear them. It was my the first work on the huge surface. Thank you very much!!!

I added some pictures of the process to my original post. So interesting to see how it was and how it is. The room looks so much better with the new wall!

Wow guys! Thank you SO MUCH for your feed back! I was so thrilled posting it. And now I'm so happy to share it with you!

Mamma mia! Beautiful, Natasha, just beautiful!

It's fantastic! Beautiful use of colour and elements x

Wow! Amazing! Great! And hi to Russian girl, I understand all lettering :) (so charming) Can you tell me, what paint did you used for the wall?

Hi Anjelica! Thank you! Cool, I'm so glad you understand all the lettering. By the way "Pomidorka" has double sense. My brother provides his agro experiment, he grows tomatoes. And at the same time he and his wife are waiting for a baby. I call the baby small tomato :))
That's pretty expensive to get the special paint in Moscow. So I made it of regular black paint (color paste), mixed it up with glue PVA and added some cement powder for rough texture. Then I had to sand it a little and apply one more coat. 

So cute :)
Thank you for sharing story and process photo and recipe :) It's all so inspiring and really great!
I tried to make paint by my own, but get bad results. Some of my friends was interested in making chalkboard so I share your experience to them. I gave up and bought expensive paint)
By the way I saw your work in skillshare instagram today! Congrats, you are so cool!

very nice job! must have been a long time to create, very nicely done! love the colors in it as well!

Thank you Linda! It took about three days. The first step of  placing all the elements on the real wall was the longest part. I used grid to transfer the sketch on the big surface. This trick helps a lot!

Wow! This is FANTASTIC! Love the colors and flowers, and the lettering is spot on. Great job!

Lauren, thank you!! Thanks for your class and everything what you do. You are brilliant inspirer!

The dacha is a Russian thing, kind of a second house for summer. All the lettering is about my family members including our cats :)
