Using a pencil, mark out your mountain range design. If you want your mountains to start part way up the wall as they are here, add a strip of masking tape the bottom to create the base. 

Step two: get painting

Use a small paintbrush to outline each mountain, you don't have to be neat the edges are meant to look... mountainous. If you do want a clean line just mask along the pencil lines. Then go in with a roller to fill in the rest. 

Step three: remove tape
