I've used a sponge to give this nice velvety effect, then I've used a wet brush to add splashes of white paint. This backdrop was made with a plywood board and a mixture of dark brown and white paints. Don't be too precise, and don't over-mix the colors otherwise the shades will disappear. My suggestion? Use a sponge! It gives such a nice velvety effect! First spread it and then gently dab it.

Use the sponge and/or brush to spread the colorĪt the beginning, two years ago, I used to use just a brush to spread the color on my board.Don't put a lot, you can add more color later.

) and gradually pour the different shades on the board. Pour the different shades of paint onto the plywood boardĬhoose the final color you want to achieve (blue? grey? dark blue? light blue? light brown?.Use a spatula to roughly spread the plaster on the board, then let it dry completely. (optional - you'll need more time) Coat the plywood board with joint-compound (or plaster, not sure about the english word!).
