i wnna ask a question joe , so .. im about to paint clouds on my ceiling.. soo.. im wondering , the base coat u use is what paint? and issit the same as the paint that you use to paint the clouds? if no , what paint did you use and the type :) thankyou.. i hope you can reply my question asap
@wifernwifern No problem. Thanks for tuning in. The paint I used is interior latex with a satin or eggshell sheen. The cloudsd are the same paint. I think I used Behr ultra pure white from Home Depo and added my other colors to that. I used quarts of red yellow and blue from Sherwin Williams. It's all the same kind of paint though. If you need slower drying time, then wait a day between coats. a freshly dried coat speeds the dry time of additional coats on top.
@wifernwifern I also use Modern Masters water base faux glaze (one hour open time) as an additive sometimes to extend the dry time of my paint. Hope that helps.
@Akaliko If you're not bothered by the fumes of the oil and the thinner, then the oil will give you more workability. I always have to move faster because I use the water base. However, oil base paints apply slower than water base. Kinda like spreading peanut butter vs applesauce. Thanks for the question.
Wonder how your shadow would change tone with different light bulbs shining upon the work?

Ever toy with painting the shadows the same tone and value as your REAL shadow cast on the ceiling as seen in the video?

@10231898 Definitely. That would be cool.
