My name is Rachael savage, I started out as an artist about 8 years ago when my first child was born, being a single mum I couldn't afford to decorate my home with nice wall paper etc so I started painting onto the walls, I draw on the designs straight onto the wall with a pencil and usually use acrylic to paint but if I have odd bits of emulsion left over I will use that also tester pots occasionally. I sometimes incorporate wallpaper into the paintings; I once painted a tree in my living room and used wall paper samples to create 3d leaves. Over the years I've painted all sorts into walks in my home and the homes of others, flower designs usually work well for beginners as they are simple with simple lines. I hope my photos inspire some of you to pick up a paint brush and create your own wall art.
