Art wall paint turns ordinary home into Art Place! We introduced Germantops magnetic board previously. In this article, the artists Joanne Chan and Ruby Law from MAGUS will show you how to transform a plain wall into a feature wall.

Art paint is a modern high-tech wall decoration art material. Its include natural minerals, ground marble, iron powder, etc., to give a unique texture. The artists can create amazing artistic textures and look with hands. Art paint is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, water-resistant and fire retardant. It is fashionable, safe and durable and make you home surrounded by the artistic atmosphere.

Art walls use more than one colour paints. The two artists used six types of art paints to stack different texture and colours without covering each other.

Novacolor – Primer
Novacolor – Marmur Fine
Novacolor – Marmur Medio
Novacolor – Eclat
Novacolor – Barocco Gold Cera Wax
Buoncolor – Mineral Stone Dark Blue

Ruby is most familiar with Novacolor from Italy. This art paint is the primer for this magnetic art wall. The lime component is added to the wall to give it a stone-like texture, which can be multi-layered with the artist’s skills.

Novacolor’s Eclat has glittering effect. Ruby chose it because Eclat has the highest “gold content” among many brands. It is moisture-proof, moisture-proof, storm-proof, and has the highest reflectivity. It is often used in Middle Eastern temples and is expensive.

Before brushing the art paint, you have to ensure that the wall is smooth enough because it does not contain any decorative power. Ruby is plastering the wall to smoothen the surface of the Germantops magnetic board that was installed previously.

Firstly, use a trowel to apply the Italian brand Novacolor’s stone-like artistic paint on the wall in S-shaped technique to make textures. Apply 2-3 more layers of paint and wait unit they are dry. Using a sponge to apply the fourth layer of paint. Then you will have the bumpy stone texture of a Germantops magnetic board.

After the creating the bottom texture with the art paint, use the Eclat of Novacolor to draw the outline of Asia map. At night, we can see the golden art paint reflects the golden light and unique texture through the light.

The next step is to use the blue and black paint of Buoncolor with stone texture to finely outline the ocean part. In addition to trowel, the two artists also used different painting tools to allow the underlying golden light to seep through the blue and black.

Finally, use a sponge to apply the Barocco Gold Cera Wax on the Asia map. Due to the uneven surface, the golden art paint will be stained on the wall at different angles and depths.
