This is so good! Exactly what I was looking for to paint for our bedroom accent wall! Great job!
I'm so glad to hear it! Thank you so much for the positive feedback; I really appreciate it!
I followed the exact colors like here and it came out amazing...I used the same eggshell paint but you only need a quart of the nightview dark paint ...and I added the dark to light then tested it dry before painting so that the shades were perfect. TOOK me 4 hours each of 3 days...another important part is a artist 1 inch to outline and rolling with mini roller is way faster
Awesome to hear, and great tips!! Thanks for sharing this!
Perfect! Thank you for the helpful tips!
I'm so glad this is helpful! You are more than welcome!
the best video I've found! thank you for all the tips! I'm doing this next week in my baby's nursery
Diana F so very glad our video comes in handy!! It’ll be such an amazing accent wall for your baby’s nursery. 🥰
Thank you for this video! I'll be using it as a guide for our nursery.
Glad the video helps!! It'll make a beautiful nursery wall.
this is great! i am looking to paint my room and this is exactly what i want!
That's so wonderful to hear! Yay! Have fun donig this project :)
Beautiful!
Thank you!! Glad you like it!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
@@SweetSofties Quesion: did you keep pouring the dark paint to the light paint even for the last layer? Or did you just use the darkest colour that you had left over for the last layer? The last one seems quite dark, can hardly believe thats not the darkest paint only :-)
Hi! Yes, I continued pouring the dark paint into the light paint. Even though it looks extremely dark on the wall, the darkest grey that we had is actually even more dark! It would have made a more noticeable difference between the last layer and second-to-last layer if we used only the darkest color. We didn't want a huge contrast, so we continued with the mixing, even for that last layer.
Wow beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much!
Building a Japanese man cave based on Matsumoto Castle... this is inspiring
Thanks, and wow, what a cool project!! I wish I could see it when done!
Very clever idea.
Thank you so much! Glad you thought so! :)
Just looks unbelievable AWSOME! I'll make one for myself :D
Aww, thanks for the kind words! Have fun painting a wall mural for your room too! :)
Wowso simple and beautiful! You two are beautiful also! Thanks for sharing this :-)
Aww thank you! You're so sweet, and I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! :D
You’ve done such a beautiful job! I’ve been looking for something like this for my study, something calm and soothing. Thank you.
Aww thank you so much! I hope you'll have fun painting this, and have even more fun enjoying your work after it's complete! :)
thanks for posting this I did this in my sons nursery
That's so wonderful to hear! We did this for our daughter's nursery. I think it makes a great accent wall for any little one's room! :)
wow!
Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for but I’m gonna do it in blue probably
Awesome! It'll look amazing in blue! :)
This is awesome! Great job!
Thank you so very much! :)
This is so good! I want to do this in one of my rooms but I was thinking I would have to use masking tape, but I see that you did it free hand. Do you have any tips to getting nice solid lines? Thank you!
Thank you!! I enjoyed doing it freehand to create an organic-looking mountain range! For getting nice, solid lines, I would recommend having a generous amount of paint on your brush as you paint the sharp edges (such as the shape of the mountain where you would normally use masking tape). Loading your brush with paint for those edges will avoid any whispy-looking brush strokes. And then, the inside of the mountain is basically just a color fill-in. Hope this helps!!
Thank you for this! How did you do the gradient/ombre effect for the mountain edges though?
You're so welcome! Are you referring to the gradient of the different mountain ranges? I slowly mixed dark grey paint in with the light grey paint to create darker shades. Each single mountain range uses jsut one shade, though; I kept it consistent for each individual range.
Спасибо!
You're welcome! :)
How long did it take to paint the wall? Did you measure out the paint for mixing? My only worry is I would mess up and them we would not have the right paint to fix.
Good questions! The painting part of it took us an entire afternoon. I'd plan out an entire day, with the morning for setting up the area (such as taping the edges with paper to keep any fly-away paint from getting on the other walls or floor. I didn't closely measure out the paint for mixing, but what I did was take a small (disposable) cup and add just a bit of darker paint into the light paint at a time. As long as you have enough dark paint for your layers, I don't think you can mess up! Just make sure the mountain range closest to you has the darkest paint (you're gradually going from light to dark). I hope that this helps!
Did you do a second coat of paint of top of it?
Looks great, and appreciate all the pointers throughout the video
Thanks!! We didn't do a second layer, but you can if you'd like to as you work through each of the mountain ranges. I'd recommend doing one range, waiting, giving it a second layer, and then moving onto the next range....instead of completing the entire wall and going back for a second coat. This way, you won't have trouble getting the same color to match the first paint coat. Hope this helps!
Hi!! Thanks for the awesome vid which I hope to do for my kids bedroom. Can I check if you’d require multiple coats of pain for the fill in? I’ll be painting on a primed white wall.
Hi! We only did one coat of paint and it's still looking great! I'm sure it'll be fine if you don't use the cheapest paint, and if your'e putting in a nice thick layer as you paint.
I am going to try this in my house. You did a great job! How much dark paint did you add to the light paint between each mountain range? And did you add the dark paint to the entire can of lighter paint each time? Or in a separate container?
Victoria Murray awesome, you’ll have fun with this project! I added just a small cup of black paint between each range, and I put it directly into the can of light paint. Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for the idea, and for the tips! I too was wondering about the different shades. ❤️
Have you added anything else to the mural later? Because the description says this video only shows how to do the mountains. Is there any follow up video with more instructions? I’d love to see that too.
Hi! I haven't added anything else to the mural itself. The video only shows how to do the mountains because I did not show the initial set-up (e.g., adding tape to the sides of the walls, covering the floors, getting gloves and paintbrushes ready, etc). Hope this makes sense!
For the last layer is that just the night view color, was it the combo of the two to create a dark shade?
Hi! The last layer is actually a combination of the two to create a darker shade. The Night View color is very, very dark on its own!
@@SweetSofties thank you!
what kind of brushes did you use??
We used regular, flat painting brushes! My husband, who was covering the larger areas of the ranges, used a wider one than me and I used a thinner one as I was doing the edging/outline of the peaks. Hope this helps!
Hi.....do you have any suggestion if I want to do this to my back yard wood wall.
Regarding the paint.
Thank you very much.
Hi! Good question... However, I'm not sure! I'm sorry! I don't have enough knowledge about outdoor paint to give good advice. I think a good person to ask might be a store associate at your local paint or home improvement store!
@@SweetSofties thank you
@@atiecoloradochannel9572 Absolutely - good luck!! :)
Beautiful! Out of curiosity, what were the 2 colors of paint you guys used?
Thanks so much! We used "Night View" (dark grey) and "Ghost Ship" (light grey). Here's more detailed info on my blog post if you'd like to check it out! www.sweetsofties.com/2019/02/mountain-mural.html
@@SweetSofties Thanks so very much! I did a similar design for our old nursery but now I'm going to try yours out for our older kid's room! Thanks again for sharing!
@@lukibug Aww I'm glad you'll try it out! I think it's so easy and fun, and looks great when done! Hope you enjoy doing this mural too!
Was your dry wall smooth or textured?
Hi! My wall is slightly textured. Hope this helps!
Beautiful! About how long did it actually take to do?
Thanks! Took us about an entire afternoon to get the space prepped for painting, paint, and do the clean-up. I'd say the painting part itself only took about a couple hours though!
Thank you for sharing how long this mountain wall mural project took you!
And thanks for taking the time to write a blog post, as well. As a not-at-all-skilled painter...I wouldn't have known to slowly add paint to gradually mix two original colors to create different shades for each mountain range. Totally genius & I'm definitely gonna do that! 🔥 🎨
What word did you write, near the end? And what language was that? Loved this!!
Thank you for liking my video! I wrote a character in my Chinese name, 孟, which means conscientious. :)
@@SweetSofties I see. Nice. Thanks for responding! 💓.
@@pashasobee Absolutely, dear! Thank you for watching! ^_^
Oh wow..i can use only 2 type of colour..that easier..thank u
Yep! I love being able to make this wall mural happen with only two colors! :)
You're very fast...
