All New! Craig Fraser’s Automotive Mural Techniques

Craig Fraser’s Automotive Murals class is an
advanced workshop in developing freehand, stencil,
and loose mask airbrush techniques necessary in
creating professional automotive murals for today’s
demanding kustom industry. In this workshop we
will be working with two separate mural projects,
and a number of demos in developing the neces-
sary techniques to create them.

The first project will be a gothic, monochromatic
mural design. This project will incorporate
macabre, and gothic elements in a collage of skulls,
bones, and even a little biomechanical landscaping
to tie it all in together.  This mural will incorporate
simple black, and white to give a very classic,
haunting look.  Based on a black panel, the students
will learn how to build this mural from the ground up
starting with white, and using Craig Fraser’s  “push
-pull”  technique, will build this mural to completion
with a balance of stencils, and freehand tricks.

The second mural project will be a fantasy/pirate
mural that will incorporate a number of the same
techniques as the gothic mural.  This project will be
based on a white panel, and by incorporating
different stencil systems, colors, and a broader
composition, a completely different style of mural
will be created.  Very bright, and vibrant, yet also
with a touch of the ancient macabre that makes
“Pirate” themed art pieces, (and movies) so kewl.

Craig will demonstrate, and break down the tricks, and techniques that have made his mural work successful for the past 20 years.  Both of these murals will utilize the newest materials, techniques, and equipment that the industry has to offer, yet will also reflect, and revitalize many of the classic mural techniques that have been used in the Automotive kustom  kulture for the past 3 decades.
