DIRTY PINK

In the late 90s my dad signed me up for a class with this lady, who just returned from the USA. She was teaching a paint technique with special wall paint, sponges and some other tools. I took the class, I loved it so much, started painting my bedroom and all over my mom’s house 🏡 🇸🇬😅.

Fast forward today, I am still doing what I learned from that lady but a simplified version of it. I loved textures, imperfections, aged, “dirty” walls and if you do too, this maybe something you would like to venture into☺️.

📝 You will need 2 colors of paint, a paint roller, a brush, 2 sponges and a spray bottle filled with water.

These are colors I used:
📌Base color : BEHR Dynasty Marquee Bubble Shell
📌Top color : BEHR Dynasty Marquee Pink Quartz

🌈 Start with one coat of base color using a paint roller and a brush for the edges. I don’t fuss with perfection or making sure the entire wall is covered in paint. If I missed some spots, l am okay with it.

🧽 Once the base color is dried, with a sponge, dab some top color paint onto the wall, spray some water on it and smear it over a section off the wall.

💧With a new dry sponge and spray more water onto the smear paint and work in circular motions to dilute the paint to till your desired effect.

There is no right or wrong way to this. Have fun and enjoy the process 💫💓.
