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:

• Top quality interior white latex paint (either satin or semi gloss)

• Latex glaze

• Cotton Rags

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.
