Making a Little Girl’s
Dream Come True
Children’s rooms are
always a delight to paint. Their energy and creativity are boundless. Having
them involved in the process of deciding what goes onto the walls of their
rooms is important. It gives them ownership and pride. Of course, parents can
try to be practical and say they want something that will last as they grow older.
But let’s be honest: no one, especially a child will remain with the same style
and taste for more than 4 to 5 years. So, go ahead and indulge in a colorful
fantastical room décor.
A recent child’s room
project brought together a fantasy of color, imagination, and room to grow. A
new home- owner has a little girl at that stage called the “tween” years. The magical
age of still part child but becoming a teen. She wanted splashes of her
favorite colors on her wall. The inspiration is watercolor paints when they’re
washed with water and become blended on paper. Recreating that effect on a wall
requires working against gravity. I painted with both latex and acrylic paints.
Each color on it’s on palette and separate soft full brush, additional water-based
glaze, and rags. When working on the highest portions, I had the luxury of an
assistant who could stop any sections from spreading down further than I wanted
them to spread.
The water- color
splashed wall was painted as a surprise for the home owner’s daughter. When she
arrived home from school her squeals of delight said it all !
Here's a full look at the water-color splashed wall:
