Camouflage with Paint!
Paint is a very powerful
tool in decorating and design: whether you are decorating a whole
building, designing the walls and floors of your house, decorating
an object, or coloring your face; paint always comes in handy and
ready to help.
Paint can do a lot of
things since it has the capability of making things look totally
different. A once gloomy room can be brightened up by painting the
walls with a light colors and adding some drawings or other decor.
An object can look totally different after it is painted.
These examples mentioned are merely illustrations of ways to
camouflage with paint. Camouflage can be defined in many ways; but
essentially, it means trying to conceal the identity of something by
blending it into the surroundings so that it becomes less
noticeable.
Paint comes in different colors and shades - there are more than a
thousand available to choose from. It is now easier for designers
and their clients to pick the exact shade they desire. If the right
color is not found, paint can always be mixed to achieve just the
color.
With the right choice of color, designers are able to achieve
solutions that create a mood, camouflage flaws, and enhance
appearance
- When designers want to set the right mood for an area, the purpose
of the area should be determined first. A sleeping room would
require a different color choice than a work area.
- If painting a house, it is preferable that one color is used for
the entire structure; the may be a contrasting color. This will
create harmony and allows for continuity.
- Flaws are always present; they often cannot be avoided, but we can
do something to hide them. This is when camouflage may be used. For
example, if the ceiling of the room is too high, a darker paint will
make it appear lower. If you want to create the image of a larger
space in a small room, paint the walls with lighter colors. For
large cold rooms, painting them with warm colors like orange, red or
pink will make it appear warm and cozy.
Here are some more examples where camouflaging with paint can be
used:
- If you are painting your bedroom, it is nice to blend the wall
color with the linens and sheets that you use. You can also
decorative paint patterns that match the prints or color of most of
the linens but don’t over-do it because it might be distracting.
- If the floor has been damaged, you can paint it with a color that
matches or contrasts with the current wall color. Add a faux tile
design for a more realistic look.
- If the pieces of a dining set do not match, paint the table and
chairs with a single cohesive color to create a unified effect
- Old frames can still be used by painting them with a color that
blends with the color of the wall where they will be hung.
- Classic wood furniture can look new again by applying paint that
matches the color of the room or a paint that is close to the shade
of the original material.
- Camouflage is not just used when painting structures and their
interiors. Some actors and performers use body paint on their faces
and bodies to enable them portray a character; it can also be used
as a mask itself, in lieu of wearing a mask.
- Some artists or painters use a human body as their canvass to
showcase their work. An example of camouflage body painting is when
a person is painted to blend with a background so he cannot be
recognized at all.
There are many things that can be done with paint. Just be creative
and think “out-of-the-box” so you can create fresh ideas every now
and then. Do not be afraid to explore, or even be radical at times,
because some of the most creative and beautiful work is accomplished
when the artist’s willingness to explore is implemented.
