This article will teach you how to paint a ceiling with the technique of the sponge. It’s easy, just have to follow the steps indicated below:
* Prepare the room. It covers any piece of furniture, painting if you come to fall from the ceiling. It is always better to be forewarned.
* Clean the ceiling. The cleaner is a surface, the easier it is painted. Cleanse and bring away any dust that may ever have.
* Color base. Choose a color as the base. You can choose a shade lighter base, and two or three shades darker for higher layers.
* Paint the ceiling. It is best to paint with a roller, since it is the most successful technique, it’s looking better and less slick. Remember to cover your body with a pilot or something, to avoid stains.
* Darken your paint mixing with the darker tones. Mix well and absorbs the paint with a sponge. Leave excess paint on the surface of a sheet of paper.
* Apply the paint. Apply with sponge painting with light pressure. It is critical to support the sponge gently, if you do it wrong you will not get the desired effect. Continues to do so until the last wall is covered. The best thing is to work from the center outward.
* Let the paint dry. Let the paint dry. That will take at least 24 hours. Almost always a little more, because the smell of paint makes it an environment uninhabitable. Be careful not to stain, because the paint is difficult to remove, even if it is based on water .
