1. Paint ceiling with a top
quality interior low lustre or satin latex paint in a sky blue hue. We
don’t recommend flat paint for this technique. Sometimes it’s fun to
bring the sky blue paint down onto the side walls (by about a foot) This
will give your ceiling a three dimensional look.
2. Allow blue paint to dry thoroughly
3. Determine where you want to place your clouds,
including portions of clouds on the walls if you painted them. You can
use chalk marks to guide your cloud design process.
4. Materials for clouds:
5. Mix 1 part white paint with 3
parts latex glaze to make ‘cloud glaze’
6. Using a rolled up cotton rag, apply the cloud glaze
to the ‘cloud’ area. Using rags give you better control over the amount
of paint. Clouds should be ‘heavier’ in the center and lighter around
the edges.
7. To add more color and perspective, after the cloud
is completely dry (>24 hours) add touches of pink, purple or yellow
glaze to small sections of the cloud. Make these color glazes the same
way you did the white cloud glaze.
