How do I paint a mural on the wall?

I want to paint a small wall mural in one of my walls. It will be small so I dont want to buy actual gallon paint. Can I just use acrylic paint or cheap acrylic paint, the 2oz, 1$ ones. If I can just use acrylic paint do I need to finish it with a canvas medium or what and should I use cheap paint or artist quality paint? I need tips and help.

    Fresco (plural either frescos or frescoes) is any of several related mural painting types, executed on plaster on walls or ceilings. The word fresco comes from the Italian word affresca [afˈfresːko] which derives from the Latin word for "fresh". Frescoes first developed in the ancient world and continued to be popular through the Renaissance. Declining in popularity, they enjoyed something of a revival in the 20th century.
