Fence Chalk Art

Chalking murals, scenes, or small pictures on fences can be relaxing for the artist and entertaining for the audience. Neighbors, adults and kids, really enjoy watching them be created and enjoy the final product. What you need is a fence, chalk, time, nice weather and some inspiration. The longer the period of nice weather the longer passerby’s can enjoy the mural. The murals can be themed such as for a holiday or current event, inspirational quotes, or interactive for picture ops. First figure out the concept and draw a simple sketch on paper to get the lay out organized. Then grab the chalk colors needed and start drawing! Listening to music and dancing while chalking on the fence also seems to add to creativity and having more fun! The end product will give you a sense of accomplishment whether it turns out as expected or not. I agree with Bob Ross…”We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.”
