In this Paint With Me, I’m taking you along for a really special family project: my son and I painted a terrace mural for my mom, inspired by two of Van Gogh’s most iconic pieces—The Starry Night and Sunflowers. It’s part personal vlog (because this one was all about bonding and making memories) and part tutorial, because I walk you through how I approach a large-scale painting when time is limited and the pressure to “not mess it up” is very real. I share the materials we used, how we tackled the background first, and my “divide and conquer” strategy once my son jumped in. You’ll see how I map out the main shapes, build up layers, and push contrast and details so the design reads from a distance. I also talk through painting back to front, keeping colors vibrant with acrylics, and setting ourselves up for a cleaner process with tape, drop cloths, and easy cleanup tools. If you’ve ever wanted to try a mural but felt intimidated, I hope this encourages you to start anyway—keep creative, keep safe, and always, always be kind.
