Before actually painting the feature wall, I decided to do an artist impression of how it’ll look with the different proportions of white, turquoise, and dark blue.

It may be time-consuming to plan before painting but remember the saying

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail..”

So with that in mind.. I went about to take photos of the room.

As it is a rather small room, I had to use a 3 shot approach to be able to capture the crucial elements.

The final artist impression 2 part white, 3 part turquoise and 1 part dark blue Used to test out the proportion of the colours white, turquoise and dark blue — The final artist impression 2 part white, 3 part turquoise and 1 part dark blue

It’s time to add colour to this blank canvas:D

Here is just a sneak peek of what I plan on doing;)

I did a test run with the colours and techniques on an mdf board. Not quite happy with the cottonblue on the bottom.. It has too much a purple tinge — I did a test run with the colours and the technique of creating an ombre [aka gradient effect] on a mdf board. Not quite happy with the cottonblue on the bottom.. It has too much a purple tinge. So we went to the shops and looked for a darker colour which will be perfect for the skirting.
