traditional mural painting

Traditional mural painting involves creating large-scale artworks directly on walls or ceilings, often telling stories or depicting cultural, religious, or historical themes. Artists prepare the surface, sketch their design, and apply paints using brushes or techniques suited for large areas. The materials can range from natural pigments to modern paints, depending on the era and location. Murals require skill in composition, color blending, and sometimes working at heights or in challenging environments. Historically, they served as visual storytelling and community identity, and today, they continue to be influential forms of public art.
