1. Find some hair, either from an animal or fake hair. Find sticks, twigs, or reeds that will work as a paint brush handle.
*Remember that detailed painting requires small brushes. You may want to make a variety of sizes.

2. Attach some hair to the end of a stick. Wrap the twine or string around the hair to hold it in place.

3. Use pieces of cloth or rags as brushes. Dip the rags into containers of paint. This works well for covering large areas with color.

4. Set up mural space. Using masking tape, put the large banner paper on the wall. Be careful. Do not get any paint on the wall. If this is a concern, tape newspapers around the edges between the banner paper and the wall. Keep in mind that tempera paint will run. Be cautious and do not apply too much paint at one time. If this is a concern, this project can also me done with the banner paper on the floor. The people of Çatalhöyük, however, painted directly on the walls rather than installing the finished murals to the wall.
