"Mural Paintings: Captivating Your Walls with Visual Poetry!"

The Westin Palm Springs commissioned mural, “Give In To The Desert”. Pictured Mural Artist, Michael Che Romero, 2023.

We are truly able to create anything you can imagine because everything we do is conceptualized, custom-designed, and hand-painted. As a result, we will meet your expectations of the subject matter, style, color scheme, and size. We begin by providing you with a no-cost consultation to discuss your ideas and budget. From that point, our plan group puts a professional proposal for your needs.

Custom murals for businesses and homes can be painted on any surface or texture, including mural canvas that can be shipped and removed. Preparation and coating of our murals can keep them safe from the sun, water, and even graffiti, extending their lifespan!

Art with Any Subject or Theme You Choose It's hard to find the right piece of art that represents you while also being the right size, color, and style. Therefore, the best way to achieve your goals is to begin with a blank canvas! We'll work with your ideas to come up with a unique layout that fits your space perfectly. This means that you can use portraits, landscapes, still life, signage, or anything else you can think of as the subject matter for your custom mural for your home or business.

FINDING VISUAL INSPRIATION

What then motivates you? A mural of a place you adore—the beach, the jungle, or a favorite vacation spot—may be just what you need. Or, what about a mural that depicts who you are, such as a portrait of your family, your company's values, or pride in your school? Or, use street art, colorful geometric designs, or a meticulously crafted historical scene to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Whatever you find inspiring, we'll make it beautiful!

Follow these 3 Lightening Fast Steps to find inspiration that will help you visualize your compose idea. (Grab a some paper and a pen and write down the following questions).

  1. What are 5 things that brings a smile to your face?

  2. What are 3 of the happiest moments of your life?

  3. What is the most memorable positive dream you ever had?

The particular style you're looking for when designing murals, we take into account your preferred art style as well as your preferred style in interior design. Perhaps you have a neutral-colored transitional office and adore landscapes by Van Gogh. We are able to design a landscape in vibrant color schematic of your preferred location, complete with impressionistic hills and large, swaying brushstrokes. Or perhaps you like contemporary architecture and Picasso. What about a vibrant abstract wall that depicts a pet or loved one? We will work with the colors in your room, incorporate elements and motifs from your existing art and furniture, and create an original piece that is truly one-of-a-kind if you have eclectic tastes. Since a mural is a custom painting created specifically for a space, we take into account all of the room's features when selecting the ideal artwork.

We create original mural art designs or if you already have a design for your custom art wall mural design and just need it painted, we're happy to do so! However, we can create a unique design just for you if you are unsure of what you want painted. We will work with you to choose the best look and style for your mural. Images of inspiration and specific guidance regarding size, color, style, or themes are extremely helpful. Knowing your budget is also helpful because this is another thing to think about when designing your mural's size and complexity. From there, a digital concept design and a photo mockup of the design for your wall will be created. Before we begin painting, you will be able to make any adjustments by seeing the design in its actual space. This will help you better visualize the finished product.

Murals aren't just for plain, white walls—they can be used anywhere in the workplace. They can be painted on any texture or surface. While charging a painting, think about walls, roofs, floors, furniture, entryways, windows, outside walls, walls, pools, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Additionally, murals can be painted over any texture, including drywall, stucco, brick, stone, glass, tile, wood, concrete, and metal, among other materials. Painting over 150+ art murals, we understand how to properly prepare and safeguard each substrate for the longest-lasting effect in all environments.

We can also paint on rolled-up synthetic mural canvas, which can be applied to your wall like giant wallpaper, as an alternative to painting directly on the wall. If you want, your mural can be moved around with the help of mural canvas. Additionally, if you are undergoing construction or live outside of our local service area, we are able to paint your mural off-site. We can paint it in our studio, then ship or install it when it's ready.

Our additional services we make custom hand-painted murals as a mural company. However, our offerings do not end there. We additionally offer custom compositions on extended material, hand-painted signage, selfie walls, vinyl signage, hand-cut models, sensible pictures and scenes, painted promotions, live execution painting, occasion painting, figure wall painting and then some. On the off chance that you have an undertaking that requires unique craftsmanship, we are the best group for you! We make portraits, art murals, and street art murals from your vision and the ideas you give us. You can furnish us with anything from pictures of your ideas to pictures of your number one cityscape. We'll take it from there!

Our professional artists have a lot of industry experience and can create any kind of mural you need. We create one-of-a-kind murals that reflect our clients' individual styles for both residential and commercial clients.

We make custom artwork, murals, sculptures, and interactive art installations for builders, homeowners, business owners, advertisers, event planners, government buildings, daycare centers, offices, restaurants, bars, hospitals, museums, hotels, shopping malls, public spaces, theme parks, TV sets, and pretty much any other place you can think of! We put our heart and soul into every mural project, from big corporate lobbies to small bathrooms or living rooms, because we know that custom artwork can change any space. Let us collaborate with you to create something special that reflects your individual aesthetic and style!

Murals are becoming increasingly popular in both residential and commercial settings as a great way to add artistic flair to any space. Murals can be used to transform a space and give life and vibrancy to a dull environment, whether it's an office building, a restaurant, or a private residence. You can create stunning artwork that reflects your personal style and enhances the interior or exterior of virtually any building with the assistance of skilled mural painters.

The first step in our mural process is a free initial consultation during which we talk about your mural ideas and figure out how much money will be needed for your project. The mural's mockup is then created by our design team for your review. Before we begin painting, we also provide a photo mockup of the finished mural to ensure that you get exactly what you want before making any commitments.




How Art Murals Can Uplift & Inspire the World in 2023

Art is a powerful tool that can change the world. It can bring culture and vibrancy to even the drabbest of places. It is an architecture of the mind, a medium to communicate ideas and elicit emotion. Art can bring communities together in a way that is unmatched by any other form of communication. 

Mural artists are the noblest of all public artists, muralists communicate with their street art canvases through an understanding of color theory, human emotion, and the psychology behind what makes some places more beautiful than others incorporating mathematical equations into their compositions utilizing the golden ratio.

  The muralist must first study the history of art and how it has evolved over time. They study the greats to understand line work and composition. But before any drawing can be done an artist must do extensive research on their subject matter because mural art is a visual communication tool to not only express ideas but also elicit emotion from its audience. Muralism is one of the purest forms of creative expression in existence today because muralists aren't just painting pictures they're telling stories about people and important moments in history. Muralists can paint anywhere they choose but often times mural artists work with developers and real estate professionals to beautify neighborhoods and communities all over the world. Rather than just painting interesting images muralists use art to engage people not just aesthetically but socially as well. 

I feel blessed to be part of such an incredible community where mural artists are at the forefront of social movements connecting art with real estate and changing our communities for good through their talents, passion, and purposeful messaging.

For more information visit: http://www.VIVACHEDESIGNS.com. Because art has this unique ability to improve our lives, some real estate developers have begun using it as a way to attract home buyers and potential tenets. There are many different ways in which mural artists work with realtors or construction firms to create beautiful public art murals on new buildings being erected.

Embracing the Desert: The Story Behind The Public Art Mural "Give In To The Desert"

Embracing the Desert: The Story Behind The Public Art Mural "Give In To The Desert"

The Coachella Valley, renowned for its sweeping desert landscapes and vibrant cultural scene, is home to many stunning pieces of art. Among them, one stands out for its sheer beauty and symbolic resonance: "Give In To The Desert" by Vivache Designs. Located at the Westin Rancho Mirage, this mural is a testament to the region's unique charm and the power of public art to transform spaces.

A Vision of Desert Splendor

"Give In To The Desert" is part of the Westin Rancho Mirage's public art collection, a curated selection of works designed to enhance the guest experience and reflect the local environment. This particular mural captures the essence of the desert in a way that is both visually captivating and deeply evocative.

Vivache Designs’ Lead Artist Michael Che Romero engaged with onlookers, discussing the process and it’s meaning.

Vivache Designs, known for their innovative and impactful public art, created a mural that serves as a vibrant homage to the desert's beauty. The artwork features a harmonious blend of colors and textures, depicting elements such as a desert flora super-bloom, local animals, and a dramatic sunset behind the San Jacinto Mountains. The use of bold, contrasting hues highlights the dramatic interplay of light and shadow that defines the desert landscape.

The Creative Process

Creating a mural of this scale and complexity is no small feat. The artists at Vivache Designs began with an in-depth exploration of the Coachella Valley, drawing inspiration from its natural beauty and cultural heritage. They aimed to capture the spirit of the desert, not just its physical appearance.

The design process involved detailed sketches and color studies to ensure that every element of the mural resonated with the intended message. The final piece was meticulously planned, with each brushstroke contributing to the overall harmony of the work. The result is a mural that feels both spontaneous and deliberate, a reflection of the desert's unpredictable yet ordered nature.

An Invitation to Reflect

"Give In To The Desert" does more than decorate the walls of the Westin Rancho Mirage; it invites viewers to pause and reflect. The mural's intricate details and vibrant colors draw the eye, encouraging a moment of contemplation. Guests can lose themselves in the scene, feeling the heat of the sun, the rough texture of the cacti, and the endless expanse of the sky.

This piece also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural beauty that inspired it. The desert is a fragile ecosystem, and "Give In To The Desert" subtly underscores the need for conservation and respect for the environment.

Enhancing the Guest Experience

Public art has the unique ability to enhance the spaces it occupies, creating a sense of place and identity. For guests at the Westin Rancho Mirage, "Give In To The Desert" offers a deeper connection to the surrounding landscape. It transforms the hotel into more than just a place to stay; it becomes an integral part of the desert experience.

The mural is strategically placed to catch the eye of visitors as they move through the hotel, serving as a continuous reminder of the natural beauty that awaits them outside. It complements the Westin's emphasis on wellness and relaxation, providing a visual escape that mirrors the tranquility of the desert.

A Lasting Legacy

"Give In To The Desert" is a powerful example of how public art can elevate a space and enrich the community. Vivache Designs has created a piece that not only beautifies the Westin Rancho Mirage but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the desert's unique allure.

As visitors come and go, the mural remains, a lasting testament to the harmony between art and nature. It stands as an invitation to all who see it: to pause, to reflect, and to give in to the desert.

Former professional football player is going to the Super Bowl - as an Artist!!

Vivache Designs is excited to announce that superstar artist and Chief Creative Officer, Michael Che Romero, will have a mural in the Super Bowl!

Vivache Designs is excited to announce that superstar artist and Chief Creative Officer, Michael Che Romero, will have a mural in the Super Bowl! Collaborating with local artist Eve Fowler, Michael brought to life a spectacular ombre sunset mural with the powerful quote by Gertrude Stein: “the difference is spreading“. This is an homage to the ever-changing landscape of Inglewood. As a high school and collegiate football player, Michael Che Romero always had a goal to play in the NFL. He came close when he won a national title playing arena ball with the Tri-Cities Fever. Never did he think that as an artist he would have the chance to have a showcase mural for the Super Bowl.

In creating this mural, Che faced many challenges. Southern California is known for its glorious weather and that was supposed to be the case when Che started the process. Little did he know there would be some natural issues he would come across including a volcanic eruption in the Pacific near Tonga which would cause a tsunami warning for Southern California. This caused some unexpected rain that water stained the mural. Next, the Santa Ana winds decided to have some severe gusts causing delays on the project (you can’t spray paint when there are 80 mph gusts). The winds also impacted the taping process - which Che had to redo more frequently than ever. Finally and perhaps our most fond hurdle: the hundreds of seagulls that would fly overhead literally pooping on the artist as well as the mural. Seagull's waste is very acidic and denatures the paint. The painting had to be touched up nearly every other day. It was, undoubtedly, a scene from Hitchcock’s “The Birds”. Due to the realistic look of the sunset backdrop, Che made himself believe that the seagulls thought they were flying towards an actual sunset.

Other, more humanistic challenges included the mural’s placement - being in between two buildings. Further, the viewer sees it from the ground up, and every single vantage point of the mural shifts at different points of the day, demanding absolute precision and perfection. The effect of the colors is pretty remarkable because of where it is placed: there is a glow at night that reflects off of the building across the way, creating a very bright, peaceful glow that in many ways is unexpected. On the final day, once the mural was painted to its perfection, Che started to seal it. He was using a matte sealer that dried as a semigloss, making the painting look wet and full of streaks. This ruined the entire painting. Che had to drive 2 hours to source new topcoat material and worked tirelessly to drive to completion. In the end, the mural took almost 20 days to complete, working 10 hours days, with the final push being 44 hours of non-stop all night, all day work.

The mural spans 78.5’ long x 11‘ high and it is 10 feet above the ground. It is likely the largest ombre ever created. Michael Che Romero can now officially title himself the ombre king given the size and complexity. Nearly 24 colors for this mural were custom made by Che with over 17 layers of paint. The tremendous amount of technique needed to create this contiguous ever flowing sunset design is amazing. For more information about Vivache designs or Che, please contact us. We are here for all your art and design needs.

Los Angeles Highway Gallery is Born

The Highway Mural Gallery Begins

Renowned Vivache Designs is pleased to announce it is rapidly taking the world by storm with its stunningly transformative murals for communities across the globe.

Vivache Designs is a full-service art and design company based in Los Angeles, California. The company’s graphic designers, muralists, and sculpture experts have successfully completed 70+ commissioned murals throughout the local area, in addition to overseas. At its core, Vivache Designs thinks of itself as a modern-day renaissance company, with a multitude of skill sets impacting the art world.

Vivache Designs is passionate about making the world a better place by uplifting spaces everywhere – oftentimes in places that are unexpected. For example, Vivache Designs experienced early success in launching a cultural incubator at a local gym in the downtown LA arts district, creating a mural painting gallery that unites community and uplifts street art and culture. The company continues to disrupt the space by launching the “Highway Gallery” concept. The first highway mural was in partnership with Evolve South Bay of MBK Real Estate LLC a Mitsui & Co Subsidiary and the City of Carson, located off LA’s iconic 405 freeway. The mural was completed by Michael Che Romero himself, the Creative Designer and Co-founder of Vivache Designs.

“We look forward to creating visually stunning highway mural paintings for our new Highway Gallery concept. The mural was designed to honor Southern California and create a sense of belonging,” says Romero. “I really wanted to ease the stress of people’s commute -, to make them take a breath as they drive in LA’s notorious traffic. My goal is to create a Highway Gallery so art can transform spaces and replace the anxiety of driving in traffic with a sense of upliftment and community.”

“I wanted to bring street art into this dynamic contemporary form while drawing on the beauty and diversity that is South LA/South Bay,” Romero continues. “Every element within the mural is a testament to our region - from the red and blue gradation tones that represent the sunset and ocean to the repeated floral stencil pattern that showcases the fertility of the land alongside the palm tree silhouettes. The race- and gender-ambiguous line art face is a tribute to our incredible diversity – and the form gazes up hopefully, looking into the future and connecting with the human spirit. This is meant to embrace the sense of community that Evolve is building with its units. Finally, the City of Carson logo acts as the sun – the catalyst for the creation. We look forward to creating visually stunning highway mural paintings for our new Highway Gallery concept.”

The Ultimate Revelation About Mural Painting

MURAL PAINTING TECHNIQUES

Read on for mural techniques and tips for painting wall murals! Now that you've gathered all the mural painting supplies that you'll need, read through these pages to learn:

  • How to prepare the wall before painting

  • Mural techniques

  • How to finish and seal the mural after you've finished painting

  • Important tips for painting wall murals

How to prepare a wall before painting a mural


Before you begin painting, you need to check the wall and prepare your workspace.

Clean the wall

First, make sure that the wall is clean and not suffering from any moisture damage or structural problems, such as cracks. If you notice cracks, spackle them, but be aware that there may be an underlying structural issue that could eventually cause cracks across your mural. Examine the wall closely for signs of mold, dirt, wax, oil or grease. If you find any, clean it off thoroughly, and be aware that mold or mildew may return unless the underlying cause has been rectified. Even if the wall looks clean, it's a good idea to wash it anyway with a mild soapy solution, such as T.S.P. Cleaner (trisodium phosphate), to ensure that you are starting with as clean a slate as possible. For bigger outdoor mural walls that are greater then +1000sqft we recommend power washing the wall before priming.

Power Wash by Banksy

Next Step: Priming the Wall

Priming the wall is an important step in creating a mural because the primer will help the paint stick to the wall more easily.

In some cases, you can apply the primer directly over the pre-existing paint on the wall, and the mural will be fine. It depends on how much elbow work you want to put into it and also on how long you want the mural to last. If you are really concerned about the longevity of the mural, then you should take some additional preparatory measures before you start painting.

Mur

To get the most permanence and best adherence of acrylic paints onto the wall, strip the existing paint off the wall by sanding it with a sanding block. To reduce the amount of dust caused by dry sanding, prepare a mild soapy solution by mixing TSP or dishwashing liquid with in a bucket of water. Dip the sanding block in the bucket of cleaning solution, squeeze out the excess water and sand the wall thoroughly. Allow the wall to dry.

After the wall has thoroughly dried, apply a coat of acrylic primer over the entire wall. You don't want to buy regular acrylic primer (such as gesso) that you would use for a painting because it's expensive when used in large quantities. Instead, buy something like Glidden Gripper White Primer. You can also get acrylic primer from a home improvement / DIY store in a gallon can, which will get you better bang for your buck.

Now, you have three choices:

  • You can start painting directly onto the wall. This is what most people will want to do at this point. If you're ready to paint, skip ahead to the next section.

  • You can add texture to the wall (for example, by applying plaster). This can create an interesting surface, but be aware of how it will affect the final painting. Will it add to the look or would it be an unnecessary distraction?

  • If you prefer to paint on canvas, you can adhere a large piece of pre-primed unstretched canvas to the wall, similar to the way you would hang wallpaper, using an adhesive like Jade glue, Unibond, or wallpaper paste. However, don't attempt to glue up a finished painting on unstretched canvas, because it will be really difficult to get it to adhere correctly.

Okay now...Ready to paint?

Mural Techniques

Screen Shot 2020-01-09 at 1.03.40 AM.png

To get started, you'll need to transfer your image onto the wall. By now you should have a sketch of what your mural will look like, so you'll need to enlarge the image into the wall using either one of these mural techniques: the grid method or an art projector. Use a pencil to trace the image onto your wall.




Now that you have your pencil outline, you can start the underpainting. The underpainting consists of large blocks of color, over which you will paint more detail later. Depending on the colors in your image, you can use interior household paint for large areas of color (blue skies, green fields, etc), or you can mix your artist-quality acrylic paints with a Liquitex Ultra Matte Gel or Matte Gel Medium by using a 1:1 ratio.

From here on out, most mural techniques are similar to the painting techniques that you would use when painting with acrylics on canvas. Here are some of the many different mural techniques at your disposal:

Sponging

FH98MAY_01344005-1200.jpg

Sponging is a good way to create a sense of texture in a mural, such as clouds in the sky or leaves on a tree. You can also sponge color on top of another color to create more of a sense of depth and interest, rather than leaving an area as a flat, single block of color.

Sponging is also one of the handy mural techniques for quickly filling in large areas with color.

To sponge, first, wet your sponge and squeeze out the excess water. Dip your damp sponge lightly into your paint, then lightly blot the sponge on some paper towels. You don’t want your sponge to be too loaded with paint, or it will ruin the effect.

Stippling

image-asset.jpeg

Stippling is one of the popular mural techniques for creating detail without worrying about smooth blending. For instance, if you're painting a green field, you can bring it to life by stippling other colors into the green. Here's how to do it:

Apply a green underpainting, then after it is dry, paint a thin coat of a different color over top of it (for example, a yellow-green or a darker green).

While the paint is still wet, dab the wet paint with a dry stippling brush and dab the new color around until the new layer is all stippled. If done correctly, the new color will no longer looked "brushed on" and some of the underpainting will show through. You can repeat this mural technique as many times as you need (with as many colors as you want) until your desired area is covered.

This is a nice mural technique for creating the illusion of a field alive with shades of green, dappled in yellow sunlight.

Stenciling

43984823_551562181981720_8108095181943962086_n (1).jpg

Stenciling is a popular mural technique because it is fairly simple and anyone can do it – you don't need any special art skills. You can buy stencils in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from alphabet letters to farm animals to wildlife, trees, planets, you name it!

To stencil, use a painter's tape to adhere the stencil to the wall. With one hand, hold the stencil in place and with your other hand, paint in the color. You need to be cautious around the edges, because you don't want too much paint build-up on the edges when you lift the stencil away. Use a sweeping, circular motion when applying paint near the edges to avoid build up.

You can also use a stencil as an outline, and paint in details later. For example, you can follow the mural technique described above to stencil the image of an alligator in a solid shade of green. Then remove the stencil and paint in details, such as eyes, teeth, and bumpy skin.

Antiquing 

metallic-paint-collection-modern-masters-cafe-blog_kitchen-style-ideas.jpg

Do you want to make your mural look old, emanating a sense of history into the room? You can achieve this by antiquing, which is one of the easiest mural techniques. To antique a wall, mix your desired color (usually siena or umber to create an aged look) with an acrylic glazing medium, using the ratio of 4 to 5 parts glaze to 1 part paint. Brush the mixture onto your wall and quickly - while the paint is still wet - run a clean rag or cheesecloth over the paint to spread it around. For an added effect, you can use this technique to add even darker color to the corners and edges of the wall.

Glazing

02_Wandlasur_01.jpg

To create acrylic glazes on a wall, mix the acrylic paint with an acrylic medium Golden Glazing Liquid. This will thin and "stretch" the paint, making it more translucent. When you paint a glaze on the wall, the color underneath will show through. This is a handy mural technique for adding dimension and shading to your mural.

How to finish and seal a painted wall mural

Congratulations! You've gotten this far – your mural is finished. Now you need to protect it to ensure that it stays vibrant and beautiful for a long time to come.

The final step to finishing your painted wall mural is to seal it. This means applying an isolation coat and a varnish. Use a clear, non-yellowing archival varnish in a matte or satin sheen. (Glossy varnish would be too reflective for a wall mural, and probably look weird under interior lighting conditions.) Choose a varnish that is removable, in case you need to get underneath the varnish for conservation purposes. (Who knows, they might take out your wall and put it in a museum someday!)

To apply the varnish, refer to the back of the bottle for the correct ratio of varnish to water. Start in a corner, using a wide paintbrush to brush on the varnish, going in a cross-hatching manner (little x's) across the wall. This varnish mural technique will help the varnish look more even. Voila! Your fabulous wall mural is complete!

Mural Painting Tips

Follow these mural painting tips to ensure a smooth mural painting process!

  • Make sure kids, dogs, and other creatures of curiosity steer well clear of the mural while the paints or varnish are still wet.

  • Use an acrylic matte medium or glazing liquid to thin your paints. This is very important! When painting on canvas at an easel, you are more likely to use water to thin your paints – but if you are painting on a wall, there is more chance that the watery paint will trickle down the wall and streak paint on whatever you've already painted. So be sure to use an acrylic medium instead of water, although you can use a bit of water to help keep your brush moist and to keep your paints from drying out.

  • At every step of the way, take a moment to step back and look at your mural from a distance. It is important to keep in touch with the bigger picture. By stepping back regularly, you can immediately tell if something is wonky, and correct it. It is important that the mural looks good from up-close and also from far away, so constantly check to make sure that it looks good from all possible angles and distances.

Our Mural Artist, Michael Che Romero travels to Melbourne to paint an amazing Street Art Lion King Mural. He speaks on his experience painting this mural in Melbourne. ”Life inspires my art and art inspires my life. I have an affinity for lions because I am a Leo and share the same birthday as Madonna. After 14hrs. of painting in the cold winter weather in Melbourne this mural turned into a reality. It was great chatting with all of the curious street art explores that stopped by. There were many people from all over the world and some locals including a couple of high school classes, a street art tour, some Germans and even a fellow Los Angelean. The people in Melbourne were extraordinary. I painted this mural next to the The Butterfly Club in Melbourne.

Vivache Design Chinatown Mural Painter Los Angeles Muralist.jpg

The most recent mural painting from Vivache Designs was done by mural artist Michael Che Romero at the Mei Mei Lou Chinatown Building, 454 Jung Jing Rd., just behind the area’s famed Bruce Lee statue in Downtown Los Angeles. Romero calls it the “Chinese Liberace” building because of its eccentric motif & op-art design and vibrant color schematic.

“We love difficult projects, particularly ones that have cultural significance,” commented Romero. “This had both and we know it will bring more life, energy and flair to Downtown Los Angeles’ already vibrant Chinatown. My life’s purpose as an artist and mural painter is to transform the world’s static, monotone and lifeless building’s walls with dynamic engaging wall murals that inspire and uplift local communities, cities, and nations for the greater good, educating and inspiring humanity through the medium of art and culture.”
