Needing some inspiration ? It is not as difficult as you may think to do a mural in your school. This was created using masonry paint, which is readily available from any DIY supplier. The children of Thornlie primary school contributed drawings of Scottish wildlife to create this artwork. They were then put on to board and painted indoors before being covered in yacht varnish and mounted onto posts in the playground.
