- Here is a video tutorial showing you how I painted this cool ombre wall using only latex paint and water.
These are the supplies I used
Latex Paint in these colors*:
- New House White (white)
- Starless Night (navy blue)
- Shadow Mountain (dark gray)
- Painters tape
- Paint trays
- A spray bottle of water
- Several chip brushes
- Baby wipes (they are a lifesaver when you mess up)
*These paint colors are all by Behr (a brand sold at Home Depot), in an eggshell sheen.

I love this effect is very calming to me, since I love rainy days.
I saved this photo from pinterest and when i searched ombre wall on yt I was so pleased to see the tutorial for it!! Oh man this is soooo tempting
Stunning! Am going to attempt as I have a large wall to cover. Thank you for listing the supplies so you do not frustrate your viewers! And thanks for the follow up tips and encouragement- Excellent video- not blabby and showed us exactly how to do the project.
i am so excited to do this,,,,for a bathroom wall fix till i can remodel in spring i am using 2 photos of churches that i took in venice when there several years ago...i will decoupage my poster onto the wall but wanted a background that felt like an extension of the colors of the sea and teh beautiful colors in the Italian architecture.............this will be perfect...................thank you so much
Excellent job!!! I work at Lowe's in the paint department so I'm always buying the mistints!! I have SO many gallons of paint 🤣 I have parrots and I've been wanting to paint a jungle/forest mural on the walls for them. I love what you did and can't wait to give it a try.
That is awesome! Good luck!
Do you have any pics of your jungle walls or suggestions for colors? I'm trying to give my daughter a forest nook for her new room and this looks so much more like a forest than the mountain mural idea I was originally planning.
This video inspired me to give it a go! Brilliant tips especially 'it looks worse before it gets better'. My wall looks amazing and I'm extremely critical of my own work. Thank you
That is great to hear! I'd love to see pictures of your wall. Can you message me on Instagram or Facebook? @thewoodspa
Your wall is so gorgeous!!! I appreciate the step by step instructions and encouragement that it may get ugly before it looks right. I would love to try this! Thanks for a great video.
Thanks Maria! I hope you try it. It will transform your room in a beautiful way!
Gorgeous! The word "dramatic" gets thrown around a lot to describe a room or piece of furniture but this wall is the definition of dramatic! It changes the entire feel of the room and is a piece of art. Just stunning. if it were in my house I'd sit and stare at it all day and night! I'd never get anything done. Who knew you could paint a wall and bring the romance back! LOL!
It did change the feel of the room, so it's been harder to get up in the morning, haha! It is so calm and cozy. Thanks once again for your kind words, Christie!
I’m sending my 16 year old daughter away for the weekend and I’m going to have the paint contractor do one wall like this for her. Love all your poster is so inspirational 🥀
I hope it worked out. Let me know!
Beautiful! I would never choose such a dark colour when thinking about wallcolours but its soooo pretty! Tomorrow I will try in my daughters new room.
Thanks and good luck!
How did it go for you?
Beautiful wall! It inspired me to try my own. Like you stated, it did not turn out like yours, but I am still very pleased with the results. Thank you.
Loved your video! I especially appreciated the details about leaving it and being able to come back later. This has been holding me back. I believe I can do it now! Have you done a starry night ceiling? Please adjust your lights so you are not standing in your own shadow for us and for you! Gracias!!
You've done a great job . Love it . Thanks for the advice. X
Love this! You're very descriptive and good at your art... beautiful job!
Pat, your beautiful eyes mirror that gorgeous smile. There is something very special about your countenance. Bravo on the lovely work - a really terrific result.
Thank you so much 🤗
I love this! The music is very peaceful as well. I’ll see how it goes.
Vc a acaba de estampar ali, naquela parede, a sua energia!!! , pois o q eu senti ao ver a imagem,,foi, paz, luz e aconchego!
Obrigada ☺️
Thanks Pat for the encouragement. It certainly was a lot of work but your wall turned out heavenly!!
Thanks Mary! I hope you do it in your beautiful home.
Im not sure i can make it as satisfying as yours..great job
Thanks! I encourage you to try.
You had a beautiful outcome. I hope mine will be good at least 😅 I'm thinking of painting my walls, ombre sage green is the vision.
Thanks for the warning 💚
"It gets ugly before it gets pretty."
I hope mine gets pretty when I finish.

Thanks for you kind words!
Such a great video. When did you start adding the blue? The very top and the very bottom are black and white and then did you add blue just on the brush while blending? I’m planning to do this as a the background and then add faded trees in black so wanted to make sure they come through. Thank you.
Thanks! I add the blue when I get to the middle. Yes, I add it to the wet brush.
Beautiful
Thanks!
Hello! I know this video is 2 years old and I am hoping you still answer questions! Your wall and encouragement are what inspired me to try this technique with my living room wall. I am in the middle of the project now but I was wondering if you also had trouble with the chip paint brushes losing the bristles as you worked and getting stuck on the wall? I got some from Home Depot and they are just terrible. I am constantly having to take bristles off the wall!
Yes, some chip brushes do shed. I try to pull the loose bristles before I wet the brush, but there is always some that come off as I paint. You can use other types of brushes with natural bristles. Chop the tips of the bristles with scissors and they will have the same texture as a chip brush. Good luck!
Тhanks for the idea. Good luck with the channel
Awesome
very nice, thanks for the tips
I like your rendering the best, ie, irregular cloud-like forms & transitions instead of the more linear approach I've seen. The details re blending are most helpful. I'm only surprised that you used "chip brushes" - I did some practicing using 12"x12" wallboard pieces that Lowe's sells, with skinny chip brushes (due to the small size). I found that the chip brushes kept shedding hairs while I was painting, plus left really streaky brushmarks. I suppose using more water will help that? I bought better brushes for when I do the real thing. 🙂 One question: how many times did you go over the wall after it had dried, to get the look you wanted? That might be an unanswerable question, especially if you only re-did sections. I'm going to be starting my wall in a couple days. Thanks for a really helpful tutorial.
Amazing.... Excellent and simple the way you explain,
I will do it but I know I can't do it like you at the first But I do my best
Thank You...
Good luck!!
Great job
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Thank you very much, Dear ARTIST! Wish ou to stay healthy and inspired!
thank you!
thank you for this video!!
That looks so nice! Thank you for sharing.. ''Right where's my brushes!!'' :-D
Nice! I love the colors you chose. The wall looks beautiful! I wonder if you could do the glaze on a wall like you did on the french provincial dresser. Do you think it would turn out the same?
Thank you Lydia! I never tried glazing a wall. My only concern is that walls are very porous so it would be tricky to work with the glaze before it got completely sucked in. Maybe if you sealed it first, but I really can't say. Let me know if you try!
The Wood Spa by Pat Rios I think sealing it first is a great idea. I will definitely let you know. Thank you!
This is awesome. I’m going to attempt this! Pretty nervous😬.
Also, I’m a little colorblind so I need to ask; are the other walls the same shade of white or should I go with a different shade? Any that you recommend?
Thanks! It’s an off white by Behr. The name is New House White.
Hello, it's really helpful and beautiful video. My daughter likes the same way but different colours combinations. Can you help me for that pls? What spray are you using to get shed?
Any water spray will work to wet your brushes. Good luck!
Wow. This is a wonderful video. Amazingly done. Easy instructions!!!
Thanks Meagan! I happy you like it :)
Thanks for this great content! ✨ ✔️ 🌹
You're welcome Holly!
I love this magical effect as well as your discussion but can you please tell me what should I as the store: I mean what kind of paint are these?? Any paint is OK! Or there is significant paint?
Thank you! This is regular wall paint.
@@TheWoodSpabyPatRios many thanks for your quick reply😍
Do you recommend a paint conditioner/extender? Also, is the paint 'matt emulsion' (uk).
No need for paint conditioner/extender, and this is just regular water based wall paint. Good luck!
You effectively compiled everything in a brief educational video.Thank you Pat and great advice for a novice like me.
Hi there. Thank you so much for this video. I would like to ask when you went in with the third color. The white cane down one third of the way, then the black came up one third, and then you blended them with the blue? I’m not sure about how to apply the blue. Thank you 🙏 😊
Hi!
I blended the blue with the white on the top area then, with another brush, I blended the blue with the gray in the bottom area. I hope this answers your question!
The Wood Spa by Pat Rios Ok... yes it is very helpful. Thank you so much for this video and for your kind response. All the best to you 🥰
Absolutely gorgeous but how did the pattern of your brush strokes 'disappear'? As in the end result looks gorgeously cloudy and blended but in the original closeup at the end of your first day it was so obviously brushed?
The more you water your brush, the smoother it looks. From up close, I can still see some brush marks, but they don't bother me at all!
Very nice
Amazing video, thanks for sharing Pat! Just a couple of questions: did you keep applying paint to your brush till the end or at some point you stopped wetting with paint and just continued with water? and if so, what colour did you add in the intersections?
Also, I saw you had 2 brushes but 3 different paints. How does it work?
Thanks! In the areas I wanted to blend more I had much more water than paint in my brush. Sometimes only water to help with the blending. The transition color I used was blue, but I mixed it with white towards the top and with gray towards the bottom.
Im an abstract painter. I wish I could obtain that sort of blending. It's not that simple.
Try a dry lamb’s wool mitt, almost like a dry brush to lift extra paint
Love this wall! How big is your wall? I saw in another comment that you purchased 1 quart of paint for each color, I want to make sure to get enough. Also, I understand you used regular interior wall paint (thank you for providing the color names), what finish of paint did you use? Satin? Flat? And about how long did this take you? Thank you!
My wall is quite big, 13’ long. One quart of each color is more than enough, unless you’ll need to paint a first base coat of white ( necessary if your wall is dark now).
I am really afraid of what it will look like, but I will test your advices tomorrow
Good luck!
How it going? 😁
Looks cool! Could you do one emulating an sky?
Thanks. I think this is the closest I can get to a cloudy sky. 😊
I love your painting effects, i think i'll going try but i hace a question for you, when you did this proyecto, did you try ti mover your brush un circles to try simulate clouds ir justo mone It un línea está?
I,m sorry for muy bad english, thanks
Thanks! No, I didn’t do circular movements but you can definitely do it. Some people do it and it looks beautiful.
@@TheWoodSpabyPatRios thanks so much, i,ll send the result.
Thank you for this video. I am about to do a large wall and am collecting techniques! Once the paint is dry, how long do you have to blend with the wet paintbrush? If you go back the next day, do you still only need water on the brush? If you need to add paint, how is this done?
The paint will dry fast on the wall and that’s ok. You will add new layers to it. I spray water both in my brush and the paint to thin it a little. I don’t spray wanted on the wall to avoid drips.
Did you buy the sample size paint?
No, I used the quart.
How did you smooth out the edges when blending? It looks AMAZING!
Lots of water on my brush. 😊
is it possible to use this technique if I'm painting the wall over that special wallpaper that you can paint on?
Yes! Just make sure your base color is light.
Could I do this over wallpaper as well? After i’ve whitened it?
I never tried, but I've seen people painting over wallpaper with no problems. Good luck!

Nice but please get a clip-on microphone for your intros.
I will. Any recommendations?
🌹❤️
Great work, a shame I could hardly hear you!
Thanks! If the audio is not clear enough, I recommend that you turn on the cc function (bottom right) so you can read the transcription.
Acrilic?
Regular wall paint. Acrylic also works.
Wow this is so gorgeous! I think I’m going to give this a shot! I was wondering though, how much did you purchase of each paint?
Thanks! One quart of each and there was a lot of leftovers. Good luck!
Why did you use latex paint, I'm not sure we have this in the UK
Chris, latex paint is the regular wall paint. I don't know how you call it in the UK, but I'm sure it is the same one.
Can it be done on textured walls? I didn’t have time to look through all of the comments sorry. It looks like you have a lot of followers because of your talent so I will take your answer to heart. I’m waiting for your answer as I want to do a headboard but I really like this better. Thanks
That looks more like watercolor than ombré.
I love it!!!
Thanks Pat!
Great job
