Painting - Painting with two colours

I have a hunter green and a brown paint, and am trying to get a sort of natural or camo look on a shed outside. I was planning on just slapping the two together haphazardously, but thought there might be a better technique out there. I'm not looking to actually paint leaves or trees, just a natural looking mix of colour.

Thanks for helping

I would spray it with a hvlp, or even a air cup gun (make sure you reduce the paint enough to spray) if I didn't have access to the hvlp (high volume low pressure sprayer). This will give you the ability to get those rounded edgeds, and softly blend in the colors. You should be able to rent an hvlp.

If you can only find standard airless sprayer, (which are much easier to find, use the a 215 or 217 tip, the 2 means you will get a small (4 inches) spray length, so you can manipulate the shapes better. The 15 or 17 is the orifice, which will minimize the chance of clogging, but you sacrifice a fine finish, which shouldn't be an issue on an exterior shed.

Thanks. But I don't have access to any sort of sprayer, just two brushes and some cloth.

Just a thought and no pro, but for a camo look and not wanting to buy any additional material or tools, you can always make a stencil of camo pattern. After prepping the shed for paint, paint on the base color, trace the camo pattern and paint it the other color.

You could always practice patterns onto a big cardboard box.
