How can I paint bedroom walls to fade from blue to green vertically?

I'm looking for a natural gradation, not rag rolled or textured.How can I paint bedroom walls to fade from blue to green vertically?
Hey There!





I was just browsing around on Yahoo Answers and came across this question of yours.





Rent or buy a spraygun (such as Wagner).





Start with the lighter color and apply a little further than the final distance.





Take the next color and spray lightly at the desired height. By ';feathering'; the colors they will slowly graduate into each other. Sort of like air brushing.





Start your second color with very light spray and then heavier as you go towards the next color. Remember, lighter colors first and then move to darker colors.





Since you're doing some decorating, I wanted to mention that I鈥檓 an IKEA Regional Manager and was informed of a private website at my last regional managers meeting that ended up to be a promotion we鈥檙e doing.





This website is giving away several hundred $1,000 IKEA Giftcards for just putting in your zipcode. It鈥檚 a marketing campaign they are doing to see what areas of the country people are interested in IKEA!





You can鈥檛 go wrong鈥?Just put in your zipcode and get a $1,000 IKEA Giftcard.





You could do some SERIOUS DECORATING for the free $1,000 from this giveaway they are doing!





Heck, you could even get the FREE Giftcard and sell it on ebay and go buy stuff somewhere else with the money you just made!

It will be difficult if not impossible to do it. It would be easier to make the gradual color change spotty with a sponge.
Well, first you should have several blue shades, several green shades and several blue-green shades of paint, all in the range you want.


Start with blue at the top, with your darkest shade. Then paint in your next darkest shade of blue, blending the two together until they look naturally cascading. Once you use all of your blues, continue with your blue-green shades, continuing to blend the colours. Then do the green paints, ending with your darkest shade of green.


You might have to do some work while blending as it can take awhile for it to look natural. Use a small to medium sized paintbrush for blending and a large paintbrush for just painting on the different shades of colour.


This is a really good decoration idea. It will probably look amazing when it's finished! Good luck!
