I just started to take my art seriously and decided to do murals as a career. I have done a few murals here and there for family and friends, as well as Artist in Residencies for Arts in Education. I now (thankfully) have a few projects lined up, one a large indoor mural for a school, and a couple of canvas pieces that will require installation. I got some great advice from some other threads about installing, however, my question is materials.
I have only done larger murals with left over paints supplied by the schools. What do you recommend for a good quality indoor mural paint? I have heard Nova Colors are awesome, but would like to find something more inexpensive. I am basically building a palette here since I do mostly oil paintings at home and only have a few tubes of acrylics for my small projects.
Please visist my site:

and THANKS! for the help.
