I penciled this thing i wanna paint on my wall, but i wanna put tape around it so i can just fill it in with paint, and i need tape that can bend, but will stick on the wall and give a clean crisp edge.
-Thanks-Whats the best tape to use when painting something on the wall with detail?
The blue one with the orange color on the inside of the roll is best.Whats the best tape to use when painting something on the wall with detail?
Like most everyone is saying, the blue painter's tape is best. Just remember to remove it before the paint is totally dry or it can take the new paint with it and make a raggedy edge.
Good luck!! : )
blue painters masking tape. pulls off easy and clean but sticks tight for sharp lines.
blue masking tape....if you re going into fine detail use contact paper

What is the recommended height of mounting a painting on a wall?
The middle of the painting should be eye level with the average height of the viewers. If you are of average height, just use your eye line as a guide. I am really short so I always hang mine slightly higher than my eye line. What is the recommended height of mounting a painting on a wall?
Whatever suits your fancy, my friend. However, for smaller paintings, display at eye level...your eye level. If you're like that loon, Yoko Ono, then you might want to consider affixing the image to the ceiling with a magnifying glass dangling beside it.What is the recommended height of mounting a painting on a wall?
The statistical average of eye level if 62';. It is short for a 6 foot man, but just right for a small grandmother who visits your space/gallery/home.
The center of the artwork would be 62';.

If I'm painting an entire room, should I paint the green accent wall first or the white walls?
I'm painting a room and want to do one wall an accent wall in a dark green color and the rest of the walls white. Should I paint the white walls first or the green wall first? Or it doesn't really matter as long as I'm careful?If I'm painting an entire room, should I paint the green accent wall first or the white walls?
Do the white first, let it dry. When you do the green, you just go over the white if its over sprayed or painted ';over the line';. Less trouble if you do it this way.If I'm painting an entire room, should I paint the green accent wall first or the white walls?
I have never painted any room, but I would think you should paint the green first, that way you don't splatter green onto the white wall. I think it might be easier to cover up a white splatter on green paint than a green splatter on a white wall.

I am think of painting something on my wall above my bed. Does anyone have any ideas?
I want to use a decal thingy but, I woule like to either make one myself or print one of the internet. I have asian themed bedroom, and I want a decal with a tree or a pretty vine thingy. I will be painting it in black. I want something pretty because it will be going over my bed.I am think of painting something on my wall above my bed. Does anyone have any ideas?
I think it would be cool if you painted some asian blooms or bamboo shoots with japanese or chinese writing on them. You could use words like love, peace, hormony, friendship, and kindness. you could even put an asian dragon wrapping around the blooms and the words. I know you can find dragon decals on ebay and other online sights. I hope you like my idea.I am think of painting something on my wall above my bed. Does anyone have any ideas?
A SWAGGED LINE MADE WITH PERMANENT PAINT STICK SINCE YOURE GOING ON BLACK....THEN DRAW LEAVES AND THINGS AND PAINT ANOTHER COLOR.....
L O V E , just the words themselves, decerated in vine and grape leafs
A sky
moon, sun, stars or even your favorite celebrity if you can paint well enogh!
Put some stars on there too.
Have your favourite quote (or one that is inspiring) translated and written in chinese =)
Could be pretty neat
Best of luck
using your ideas of tree and or a vine - I would paint a white picket fence as the 'headboard' and then fill in with the plants and or silhouette by using the black for the plants.
Paint the wall with a blue sky and big puffy white clouds and then use some clear glow in the dark paint to makes some stars. So you'll have something for the night and day for your wall.
You can add things like a forest or vines coming up into the sky..but the sky will put a foundation down for you to get started with anything else you may want.
I do murals, and this is the first one going up when I get a house.
A nice graphic design, modern...the olive pattern or the TV pattern. Or maybe a branch with cherry blossoms, or a cool pin-up girl...or, if that seems too much use a can of flat paint and a can of high gloss paint and create a subtle design.
You could do a tree (as you suggested) and then put a landscape (mountains, a temple, a river, whatever you want) in the background. You definetely have the possiblity to make an artistic statement with your painting and room.
An angel to watch over you.

Questions on painting a bedroom wall?
I just bought a house and it needs painting in the interior. The previous owner left so many tiny holes in the walls from hanging up pictures, etc. What can I use to cover these holes before painting. Also I have another room that is painted an ugly dark blue. What do I have to do before painting it a light color.Questions on painting a bedroom wall?
Not knowing what kind of wall coverings you have I'm going to assume you have drywall. If so, spackling compound or paste can be obtained from you local hardware or building supply store. Mix it up and place it in the holes. When dry, a light fine sanding and paint. I have seen people mix flour and water to make a paste - it works.
To cover a dark wall it should be recovered with a good white primer paint. But the wall should appear white, if not, a second coat may be required. This will give you a true desired color.Questions on painting a bedroom wall?
Fill, sand, fill,sand and finish and then paint.......the other may just take you two coats........if you do something we call 'back rolling'; you might get it done in one day............we paint a couple of walls and just before they are dry we go back over again. The best way is wait and do 2 coats if needed. Just depends on the paint quality also.
get a small container of Spackle and a small sraper put a small amount of Spackle on the sraper push it into the hole then scrap of excess you don't even have to let it dry you can paint over right away.Now as far as your painting over dark blue you will need a primer in a the color you are about to pain but i suggest using kilts then painting over peace out
