Featured Project #3

This project was a perfect example of lemons turning into lemonade. I got a custom color paint at the paint store, placed it on the wall, and realized afterwards that the color was flat and I hate flat paint. I was unsure of what to do--I couldn't get the custom paint remixed. So, I decided to buy some glaze. Instead of painting the entire wall with glaze, I decided to try a technique I'd always been interested in: a tone-on-tone paint job using stripes. I measured the wall's width, decided upon a width for the stripes,and used masking tape and a laser line to plot the stripes. After plotting the stripes, I alternated the application and omission of glaze, starting from the center, to create the final effect. Thus, I was able to turn an error into an opportunity. Voila, lemonade.
