Rather than painting directly onto your wall, try using a large canvas or MDF board as your base. Choose five to six complementary colours—like purples and blues or vibrant pinks and oranges—and add a bold contrast colour for a pop. Start by painting soft, uneven blocks of your lightest three shades in a camouflage pattern. Once dry, transfer each paint into a squeeze bottle and drip lines across your surface.
