A hands-on guide to designing and painting murals, straight from Gasty's own process.
This isn't a theory book. It's the exact workflow Gaston Duflos uses on real walls — from the first loose sketches to the final signature — built from years of painting murals across Sydney, including two at Bondi Beach and a decal installation at Australia Square Tower.
Inside, you'll find:
- The design process, from rough ideas to refined artwork
- How to choose paints, brushes, and materials
- Techniques for transferring a design onto a wall (including the doodle grid method)
- A practical approach to paint day, time management, and finishing touches
Whether your style looks nothing like Gasty's or you're just starting out, this guide is built to be adapted to how you like to work.
7-Day Guarantee

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to use this guide?
No — it's written for artists at any stage, from painting your very first mural to refining a process you've already been using for years. The steps and principles apply regardless of your skill level or style.
Does this guide match my art style, or is it specific to Gasty's?
The techniques work for any style. While the examples are drawn from Gasty's own murals, the process — from concept to final signature — is designed to be adapted to however you like to work.
Does this cover mural pricing and quoting clients?
Not in depth — this guide focuses on the hands-on process of designing and painting a mural, not the business side of pricing. It does include a simple starting framework based on your time and hourly rate, but a full pricing strategy is a topic of its own.
What materials does the guide recommend?
It covers everything from paint types (brushes, rollers, wall paint vs. spray) to specific brush sizes, plus a full pre-paint-day checklist so you know exactly what to have on hand before you start.
Is this a technique guide or a step-by-step tutorial?
It walks through Gasty's real process end-to-end — from the first loose sketches, to choosing materials, to transferring a design onto a wall, to deciding what order to paint in and finishing touches. It's a framework for how to approach a mural, not a hand-skills tutorial — it won't teach you brush control or painting technique itself, since that comes from your own practice and style as an artist.
