Tools & Materials Needed:
  • Latex eggshell finish paint in 4 colours beige/green
  • Off-white latex paint
  • Paint tray
  • Roller & sleeves
  • 3/4" low-tack tape
  • Pencil, ruler
  • Chalk line
  • Spirit level
Getting Started
1. Basecoat the wall with 2 coats of off white. Let dry.

2. Divide the wall into 4 equal parts. Use a chalk line and a spirit level to create straight lines, then tape across the centre of the line with the 3/4" low-tack tape.

3. With the 4 shades of green going from lighter to darker, start with the lightest shade at the bottom and work upwards so that the darkest is at the top. You will need 2 coats of each colour, and perhaps a third for the darkest colour, depending on your coverage.

4. Remove the tape, and let dry.
