Learn how to create a watercolor effect on your wall!

See through the summer heat to the water.

Layers of transparent blues create a cool and refreshing interior in this MAKE THIS: Watercolor Wall. Combine different shades of blue in the same space for a monochromatic look that mimics the gentle swells of the ocean with WOOL .06, WATER .04, and BISQUE .06.

Create this dreamy waterscape in your own space in a few simple steps. Check out our video or read on for step-by-step instructions.

You will need:
1 quart of Colorhouse WATER .04 flat
1 quart of Colorhouse WOOL .06 flat
1 gallon of BISQUE .06 flat
A spray bottle
Water
Paint brush
1 roll of blue painter’s tape and paper

Step 1:
Paint your wall in 2 coats of BISQUE .06. This will be the basecoat for your Watercolor Wall. Protect your trim with painter’s tape and paper- this technique will get a little drippy at the base of the wall.

Step 2:
In a separate container, mix 1 part WATER .04 and 1 part water. Stir. With the diluted paint mixture, paint a 6″ line across your wall.

Step 3:
Using your spray bottle, spray with water to get it dripping. Use as much or as little as you want for desired effect. More water = more drips.

Step 4:
In a separate container, mix 1 part WOOl .06 and 1 part water. Stir. With the diluted paint mixture, paint a line below the WATER .04. Vary thickness for desired look and feel free to mix the WATER .04 and WOOL .06 together.

Step 5:
Spray baby spray!

Step 6:
Allow to dry. Remove tape and paper. Love.
