You see not to a lot of this, when we have bricked this when we paint it over and it is actually quite boring, what is everybody doing but painting with it with a solid color. Well I am going to show you how easily we can transform this. Anyone can transform their brick. There is really nothing much skill or talent involved in this. So let us get started and were going to paint it with a solid color first. A fresh new color, okay so I think were going to start for painting it red. Oh yeah, so here we go. It is already to go, it is red. A little bit intense for a column but it is only our base color. Actually this is the red that were going to use as trim of the house and so what I am going to do now is come back in with the color that is on the background of the house is orange. Okay. I just wanted to make this actually really easy for you so that is why we were using the colors on the house plus one more tone. So right now what I am going to do is take this color and then simply glide over and highlight the bricks and then we will take it from there. That is all done. Now, we are going to introduce the third color and that is a nice dark brown and I will dilute it and then I am just going to slap on this wall around brick, just wipe it on and it will change the colors of what we have going on here and it is made for more interesting. Look on the bricks and it was so easy to do. Oh yes, isn’t this great. I used two colors from the house and one more color and made more interesting finish on this bricks.
