Anyone know how to paint clouds?

We wanted to paint them on the ceiling in my son's room but I have no idea how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Re: Anyone know how to paint clouds?

I would look at some pictures online and then do them freehand with a sponge or rag-you probably want to use glaze mixed with paint. Then you can even outline in a metallic silver to make them pop. I would also suggest searching on google you will probably find step by step instructions

my Aunt did this, it was relatively easy. She did use a glaze mix, not true white though, it was an extremely pale blue. She did it with a cetain sponge. I'll try and get you more details tonight

my stepbrother did this in my daughters room. I got 3 shades of blue paint, a very light, med and dark. the ceiling was allready painted white. he used a rag, brush and some other tool I dont know the name of it to make the clouds. he painted lots of the light blue first and accented with the other 2 shades of blue leaving white in there. It came out perfect. He said he just looked out the window at the sky and that was his inspiration.

I bought them from a Michael's and they go on like wallpaper. I have no talent

I actually emailed Something Different this morning for a quote on this and some other stuff.

Thanks everyone - I am going to look into them and see which is easiest because I have no painting talent whatsoever.
