Wall should i do?, by ed on Mar 24, 2017 16:33:12 GMT 1, Hello forum of creative and knowledge people.
I've got a bare, white back wall to my garden:
And want to do something on it. Does anyone have suggestions?
The useable area is approx 1 metre high x 2.5 metres across.
I have no art police to clip my wings but i also have the drawing skills of perhaps a 5 year old. This is probably an insult to 5 year olds.
My plan is to project an image onto the wall as a template unless it's super simple.
I was thinking of attempting something xenzy and i really like the work of felipepantone and katyanngilmore ATM but am more than willing to go well out of my comfort zone for the right idea!

At the base plant some bulbs such as anemone, crocus etc. Put a pile of sticks in the corner to attract hedgehogs etc. Do not muralise the wall it will look cliched and s**t, It is a garden not Upfest!

You say clichรฉd like it's a bad thing
I've really tried to include as many plants as possible to attract bees and butterflies which is slowly working. Got a couple of magpies nesting really close by who use my pond to wash in but also chase away other birds it's quite funny sitting watching them being territorial but they've chased starlings and i think chaffinches away.
I've put loads of wood and stuff against the back wall so hopefully one day a lil hedgehog will pay me a visit.
At the moment someone coming over for upfest has offered to do the wall, which is exciting and we'll see how that pans out

Your own up-fest painted wall! Nice one, get the music and beers out while it's all going down ๐
