1: Paint in a figure 8 motion.
2: Get Gloss base paint from Home depot...they don't have it any place else....trust me I looked!
3: get a pigment
4: make brushes that look like broom handles.
5: work with more than 1 person. We had 3 people. The wet person adds on the color with figure 8 Motion....very wet
The 2 dry brushes come behind you and pick up the drips and go over the area you just were in.
It is an aggressive motion.
So first you need to either prime that classroom or you need have a very soft color you are painting over. We are painting over last year's yellow....with a tint of orange that is on the bottom.
Our color is green for 4th grade.
The amount I did here is enough for one wall....so don't over do it...
Beautiful! I can't wait to watch the YouTube video. Thanks for posting it.
