Feature wall panels

Use a combination of complementary Resene colours to create this simple modern wall feature.

Resene art with Mark Rayner - Project 33

Difficulty level: Easy

You will need: 300mm x 900mm stretched canvas artist’s panels (x3), masking tape, paintbrush, paint roller and tray, Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) flat, Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) gloss, Resene SpaceCote Flat waterborne enamel tinted to Resene Midnight Express, Resene Testpots in the following colours: Resene Pizazz, Resene Trinidad and Resene Yellow Sea, tape measure.

To get the look: Mark positioned the panels approximately 40mm apart and hung each one from two panel pins.

Other ideas: Try lightly stippling Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) flat and Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) gloss onto a single coloured panel to create a subtle reflective surface.

Step one
Prepare the wall (priming, if necessary, with an appropriate Resene primer) and paint with two coats of Resene Midnight Express, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step two
Paint the first panel with two coats of Resene Pizazz, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step three
Paint the second panel with two coats of Resene Trinidad, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step four
Paint the third panel with two coats of Resene Yellow Sea, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step five
Align the panels side by side, and place two lengths of masking tape across the three panels, 300mm from each end, as shown.

Step six
Apply one coat of Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) flat to one end of the panels, as shown.

Step seven
Before the Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) flat dries, carefully remove the masking tape.

Step eight
Apply one coat of Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) gloss to the other end of the panels, and remove the masking tape before it dries. Leave to dry for two hours before hanging.
