I think it looks great, I love that you are doing something different than every other hombre tutorial. It does seem like a technique that will take more time, but I definitely think it has that extra touch that makes it stand out from the rest. Thanks!!

@sharonsnider2724 9 лет назад

Excellent tutorial, I really like that effect it looks smoky using that gray. Great job, thanks for sharing.

@PrettyHandyGirl 9 лет назад

marvellous! this is so good! I just have to do this in my place

@goldietheboss1013 7 лет назад

I've only worked with colour before but this technic seemed long. I use water and a large sponge or rag to move two colours together the two colours - one dark and one light- blend together with the water to make the third colour. Working with wet paint and water to blend seems to work the best for me and saves time

@JulietheMakeupartist 8 лет назад

Love the effect You get using this tecnique! I wish I'd seen this video earlier on - pre my ombre wall failure :-) But I'm gonna give it another try, thanks to You ;-)

Man oh man there are a LOT of negative comments and back seat painters. This woman showed her techniques for others to use- which was great.

@PrettyHandyGirl 5 лет назад

RU-vid tends to bring out the critics. If they want to do it differently, they can be my guest ;-D.

@chiara2200 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video looks great, do you know of videos of how to add an underneath layer of texture to the wall?

@PrettyHandyGirl 6 лет назад

Sorry I don't.

@freyajames502 5 лет назад

Hello! I love this look and am wanting to try it with an almost black wall with some dark greys and lighter blacks. Have you seen this with darker colors, almost black? If so, do you have any advice

@PrettyHandyGirl 5 лет назад

Go for it!You can always try a sample on poster board first.

@jorgeortiz1984 9 лет назад

Did you only use one brush/sponge or 3 different ones since there are three different colors? Thanks for the video!

@BrittanyBailey 8 лет назад

+jorge ortiz One brush and sponge, but I wiped them off on a rag if they got too much paint on them.

@shannamccurley187 8 лет назад

Brittany, this is beautiful, what finish of paint did you use, flat latex?

@BrittanyBailey 8 лет назад

+Shanna McCurley I used Eggshell, but you should be able to use any sheen.

hi, I see that you are working with the paint when it is still wet, but was the original gray and white on the wall dry before you started adding the medium paint?

@PrettyHandyGirl 9 лет назад

Yes, I blocked in the dark and white to start. They were dry.

Would a paint sprayer work best

@PrettyHandyGirl 3 года назад

I find a sprayer is harder to control, but you could try that.

Eggshell or Satin.

@AnunnakiThe1 6 лет назад

well thanks for the video , but I have a task by dear friend to do the entire master bedroom an Ombre effect super fine blend rather , been an Artist my self , I did experiments on using paint retarder plus latex paint extender to give me more time to blend the entire 28 feet long by 10 feet high walls of long sides and 20 feet long by 10 feet high on wide side walls on a 4 feet by 8 feet drywall sheet , that is major task and have never seen any complete video or tutorials on such scale . to my experience in paint and pigment molecules you always need paint retarder agent and paint glaze when dealing with pure acrylic , however ? latex paint that has acrylic pigment ? need paint extender , the latex has drying agent in it so you need to mix paint retarder for the acrylic pigment to stay fresh and paint extender for the latex to not dry in its timeline . try it , I am sure you will have fun manipulating more surface . stay away from water as thinner , I use water only to make washed sand stone effects . here is a free tip : try to use blending badger hair brush when merging two different colors or shades :) , good work though and thanks for the video again .

@scannon90 6 лет назад

The color you picked was way dark, I hope you did it in a well-lit room. Still, all-in-all a nice tutorial and a nicely blended paint job. I think I'll try mine on a piece of plywood before I go whole hog on the wall.

@PrettyHandyGirl 6 лет назад

To each his own. I actually really like the color. It's a bedroom, we sleep in here, that's about it.

@Kindlycallmecarebear 8 лет назад

Would have been nice to see a longer shot of the finished work. It was barely visible for three seconds.

@BrittanyBailey 8 лет назад

+Kari Colvin Sorry about that you can see more details on my blog: www.prettyhandygirl.com/paint-ombre-wall-effect/

@xhana_ 8 лет назад

It's more like smoke, not ombré at all, the mixing of colors isn't smooth at all.

@deadlylaughterproductions 7 лет назад

It doesn't have to be smooth to be ombre really. It only really has to go from light medium to dark. So technically it still is ombre.

@xkohai 5 лет назад

Am confused these videos are not long enough to practice the technique the correct way

@maidenfan18701 2 года назад

Probably the worst ombre effect I've seen.

@PrettyHandyGirl 2 года назад

Probably the rudest comment I've seen.

@Lemou2904 7 лет назад

You are wasting a lot of paint and time. This tutorial is exhaustingly, painstakingly and emotionally mess from start to finish.

@PrettyHandyGirl 7 лет назад

Wow, thanks for your positivity. If you don't like my technique, just don't use it. And by the way, very little paint was wasted.

@brendagoni8715 6 лет назад

Lemou Kalista why dont you make your own tutorial? Since you know exactly how to do it

@1GAMEDOG1 6 лет назад

Brittany Bailey, that's not a mature way to react to criticism. Comments don't have to be positive, they're just people's opinions.

@kristoferslimko4042 6 лет назад

Tristan King Yes, Lemou Kalista has a right to his opinion, but he does not have a legitimate reason to call the video a mess from start to finnish. What Lemou Kalista said was rude not constructive like his comment should have been.
