In this week’s episode, I’ll share a list of painting hacks to make your life easier. Some of these tips are ones that I use but most are a collective of Artist Academy members sharing their knowledge and experience. Ten artist brains are better than one!
Here’s a brief list of some of the hacks, but you’ll need to listen to the episode to get the full explanation of each:
Have a great week! :)

Here’s a brief list of some of the hacks, but you’ll need to listen to the episode to get the full explanation of each:
- Rent a towable man lift for $300 for the day to access those hard to reach heights on mural projects.
- Carry fingernail polish remover with you to remove accidental paint stains quickly.
- A pounce or reverse stencil sticker is great for getting images in places where projectors can’t (the floor).
- Use throw away plastic containers with lids (yogurt cups, egg trays, to-go trays, etc.) to store paint.
- A spray bottle adds extra moisture to keep paint from drying.
- Keep baby wipes on hand. Just do it.
- Never use fluorescent paint for exterior work. It fades. :(
- Try a step stool instead of a ladder. It’s easier on your feet, serves as a seat, and a place to set the projector.
- Tape charcoal on a stick to better sketch out mural images. You can see much better from a few feet back!
- Use 2 water bucks (1 with soapy water) to keep brushes clean.
Have a great week! :)
