Paint An Underwater Mural

Paint an underwater mural in a room for wall décor. The mural can take up a whole wall or part of the wall. Incorporate windows, doors and other features of the wall in the mural. For example, make a window the opening of a cave by painting a rock around it. If the mural is for a child's room, incorporate book characters like Rainbow Fish or Nemo, from the movie "Finding Nemo."


Instructions


1. Pour blue paint in a paint tray. Paint an area of the wall blue with the paint roller. After it dries, use a small paint brush to add green and other shades of blue to the water.


2. Use fish stencils to make fish shapes on the dry blue paint. Hold the stencil up to the wall and paint over the stencil with the brush. Use any color or a combination of colors. Remove the stencil and repeat as often as desired. Add seaweed.


3. Pour tan paint into a paint tray. Sprinkle sand inside and mix with a paint brush. Paint the wall with the sandy paint. Throw out this tray and brush when done. The sand won't come out easily.
