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!!
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
Ooohhh. Yes! This is what I’ve been looking for. All the other ombrés are too blocky. Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait to paint my bedroom now!
You are so welcome!
Excellent tutorial, I really like that effect it looks smoky using that gray. Great job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sharon.
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.
TH-cam tends to bring out the critics. If they want to do it differently, they can be my guest ;-D.
Nice tutorial easy I can see it good and hear what you do. Great teacher. Nice job and how fun 👍
I'm definitely going to paint my room like this, but I will use blue shades instead. Thanks that was pretty good tutorial
Ah! I just found this and I love the look. I'm painting my kiddos room in a couple weeks and this is awesome!! Hopefully mine attempt doesnt turn out like a 'nailed it' project. Thank you for sharing!!!
You can do this! I'd love to see the final results. Email me at PrettyHandyGirl @ gmail.com if you get a chance.
marvellous! this is so good! I just have to do this in my place
This is awesome. Thanks so much for the simple explanation and jaw dropping look.
You are so welcome!
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 ;-)
found this on pinterest thanks for posting im going to try it in shades of dark blues to medium to light great job
Looks amazing!!! Going to try it. Hopefully it comes out the same. Love the smoky effect!!!
Good luck! I think you'll love the results.
Looks very nice, like a cloud or smoke effect...
Thanks! been looking for this. 👍
Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
Cristine!!! Where are you!?
I was reading this comment then suddenly this came up 2:30 😄
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?
Yes, I blocked in the dark and white to start. They were dry.
Thanks for the video looks great, do you know of videos of how to add an underneath layer of texture to the wall?
Sorry I don't.
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
Go for it!You can always try a sample on poster board first.
Did you only use one brush/sponge or 3 different ones since there are three different colors? Thanks for the video!
+jorge ortiz One brush and sponge, but I wiped them off on a rag if they got too much paint on them.
How long did it take you? It looks awesome!
A few hours maybe? I can't remember.
@@PrettyHandyGirl Thank you
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 .
Brittany, this is beautiful, what finish of paint did you use, flat latex?
+Shanna McCurley I used Eggshell, but you should be able to use any sheen.
+Brittany Bailey (Pretty Handy Girl) Thank you for such a quick response. I appreciate your tutorial, it's one of my favorites.
your sponge does it wet? :)
What kind of paint finish was used? Matt? 🤔
Eggshell or Satin.
@@PrettyHandyGirl THANK-YOU FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY! Im low-key buying the paint tonight and doing this in my office, wish me luck! ☺️
Good luck! And have fun painting!
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.
To each his own. I actually really like the color. It's a bedroom, we sleep in here, that's about it.
Would a paint sprayer work best
I find a sprayer is harder to control, but you could try that.
1:31 I looked at the gray I I just pictures it just "oh ok I'm paint...
Would have been nice to see a longer shot of the finished work. It was barely visible for three seconds.
+Kari Colvin Sorry about that you can see more details on my blog: www.prettyhandygirl.com/paint-ombre-wall-effect/
What color is the dark grey???
+Gsharks Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore. You can read more details here: www.prettyhandygirl.com/paint-ombre-wall-effect/

It's more like smoke, not ombré at all, the mixing of colors isn't smooth at all.
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.
Am confused these videos are not long enough to practice the technique the correct way
Probably the worst ombre effect I've seen.
Probably the rudest comment I've seen.
You are wasting a lot of paint and time. This tutorial is exhaustingly, painstakingly and emotionally mess from start to finish.
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.
Lemou Kalista why dont you make your own tutorial? Since you know exactly how to do it
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.
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.
