Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Start with an MDF chopping board. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust for a smooth painting process and better adhesion of the colours.

Step 2

Apply a base coat of Acrylic Colour White 27 to the MDF board using a wide brush.
This will make the mural colours pop.
Allow the base coat to dry completely.

Step 3

Draw a Kerala mural design on A4 white paper.
Trace this design onto the MDF board using yellow carbon paper.

Step 4

Begin painting the design with Acrylic Colours - Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, Golden Yellow 09, Light Green 12, Orange 17, White 27, Cerulean Blue 32, and Pearl Metallic Gold 352.
Carefully blend and layer the colours to achieve the rich, detailed look typical of Kerala mural art.
Allow it to dry.

Step 5

Once the main painting is done, go over the outlines and finer details with a thin brush to sharpen the design.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Your Kerala mural art-inspired chopping board is now ready to be showcased as a piece of functional art.
