Decorating Ideas for Your Girl’s Room

Do you have a girly girl? I mean a girl who loves pink forever, and all attributes connected with it?
If so, you might like the French design for your girl’s room, which I want to show to you.
For this mural I did for a 11 year old girl some time ago, we were chosing the typical French items, like the Eiffel tower, the French pink poodle or the French Set.
It is a cute decorating idea which you can do yourself or by hiring a mural painter.

Add a Paris Theme
The Eiffel tower is a traditional Parisian landmark and should not be missing in this conecpt. We placed it next to the bed.
Over the bed I painted the French Set: facial powder with a brush, nail varnish and a lipstick, surrounded by whimsical roses and whirls.

Add Pink
The Girl’s French room has many elements and a dominating color is pink. A poodle was absolutely a must.
On one wall I painted a bag with the famous “o-la-la” poodle theme. The background: Around the bag whimsical roses and whirls in charcoal black.

Bon jour and Mon ami!
Over the wardrobe we decided to have some typical French phrases and “Bonjour mon ami” which means “Hi, my friend”, seemed to match the whole theme.

How to Use a Liner Brush

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:45:40 +0000

Do you need to outline shapes? If so you need a liner brush. This kind of brush is short and narrow, has short handles and round ferrules. It is useful for delicate lettering, highlighting, outlining, and long continuous strokes. You can use it with watercolor, decorative ink or sign paint. I hope you like it!

Things You’ll Need:
- liner brush
- paint

With a liner brush you can create several different line widths. Just vary the pressure on the brush. Try it out and you will be surprised.
One of the best ones is the Da Vinci Maestro Kolinsky Special Inlaid Liner Brush. You can get them at an art store, like Dickblick.
Creating a line
Using a light pressure with just the tip of the brush on a surface creates a thin line.
Creating a wide line

Increasing the pressure, the line gets thicker and you can create the widest line on the surface.
different pressures

Now if you vary the pressure throughout one stroke, you can create a line that will be different in its form. You just change the pressure change from thin to medium to heavy and then back to thin. This is very good if you need to out-line shapes or when painting vines.
