SO : Garden Sheds. Anyone got any good ideas for an interesting paint job?

Fancy some airbrush art on ours I think....

SO : Garden Sheds. Anyone got any good ideas for an interesting paint job?
Why not ?





seen the Aussie book 'Blokes and sheds'?





A good read.
Reply:Airbrush opens up a wide world of possibilities but the scale may be a little small for a shed if you are not carefull. I would lay out a pencil outline of what you are looking for, put some color in it and walk back say, 50 feet and see how the proportions look and how the colors work with the surroundings. Paint the whole area to be air brushed white to make the colors more vivid if that is what you are looking for. You might go so far as to apply MDF overlay plywood, at it is very smooth, what sign painters use.





As for a theme, this is very hard to recommend to someone else as everyone is different but as you are in a garden, a jungle theme with many bright flowers as in tropical orchids, animals, greenery, etc. comes to mind.
