Now that the walls were completely torn, it was time to paint. The painting process here didn't hold much technique to follow, but became a movement which we chose. the very base color of the paper was a off green but I wanted the walls to hold a lot of texture, layers and layers. This meant I got sponges which held a mixture of colours then squeezed then and the top of the walls. Flicked brushes, through paint and sponges. In all this was always building aged layers.

I painted around each of the tears in the paper in a dark shade of brown. it held to bring the tears alive and also helped to add the effect that they had torn open naturally through growth.
