Nope, this isn't a content thread.

I do have a question though:

I made a drawing on a wall and now I want to paint it with oils. The problem is that when I use the oils over the penciled areas, the pencil outlines still stand out with lighter oils (red, yellow) rather than painting over them. If I don't have an outline, I don't have a guide.

Is there some thing I can spray over the drawing that will allow me to paint oils without the drawing still standing out? Could I try something else, or I am pretty much ****ed?

Destroy it.
 
Use a projector to shine your outline on the wall, or put a primer on the wall and use a lighter outline. If the outline shows through a light coat of primer and it is still usable, you can rough the drawing first, then prime over it, then paint it to get nice colours without detail showing through from behind. Also, if the wall isn't scrubbed and cleaned really well before hand, the paint may start flaking off pretty soon, depending on what the surface is like.
 
Rough it in with oil paint.


ITS BRILLIANT!
