How to Paint a Room Camouflage

Camouflage is no longer just for hunters and the military. You can find just about anything in camouflage. Women get their nails done in it, and babies have crib sets in camouflage. Painting a wall in camouflage is the perfect way to enhance your themed room.

Supplies

• Paint in three separate colors


• Base paint; choose something lighter than the three above. This will be the color you put those on top of.


• Paintbrushes in a variety of sizes


• Paint roller


• Paint tray


• Pencils; artist pencils tend to do better on walls.

Directions

1. Apply your base paint color. This will give your color palette a background that makes sense. While most of the base will be covered, many parts will show through. You can choose to skip this step completely and use only the design to cover the wall.

2. Draw shapes on the wall. It helps to have a piece of camouflage available as a guide. Try to recreate the random shapes. Remember that it does not have to be perfect. The lines should be a bit wiggly.

3. Open the three paint colors you have chosen. Choose the right paintbrush for the size design you will be working in, and lay out your tools.

4. Brush on the lighter of the colors for the first shape, then brush on the second color and then the third. Work in in one small area so that you get a feel for how you want the wall to look. Once you have completed the small area and feel confident, you can walk around and paint on one color at a time.
