How to achieve a watercolor effect on your walls
In short: Discover the Lazure technique, a method of layering thin, transparent paints to create a calming, artistic atmosphere. This video demonstrates how to transform a standard room into a soft, painterly space using specific brush strokes and material blends.
The video explores the application of the Lazure technique, which involves brushing out very thin, transparent paints in broad circular and diagonal strokes. This method is designed to give walls a calming watercolor feel, making it an ideal choice for a child's bedroom.
To achieve this, artist Rosemary Dewees mixes acrylic paint with a polymer and water. The process begins on a wall primed with non-toxic clay paint. Using large brushes, the artist paints in large figure eights and diagonals, then uses a dry brush to blend the drips into the surface.
