Yes
Didn't really know which section to place this in. I would like to get some paint? to decorate the wall outside for an 'urban' style shoot. It does however need to wash off the wall afterwards!

Anyone got any ideas? Can't be too expensive :( Thanks
 
I don't know of anything that would look like "real" paint as they're all designed to stay put - what about children's face paints (might have to buy a lot!)?
 
It doesn't necessarily have to be paint or look like paint just something I can spray/throw/flick on the walls to 'do' it up a bit :)
 
Maybe the liquid paints you get for kiddies to paint with - they wash off kids :)
 
What sort of wall is it ?
Bare brick ?
If it has been painted before, they why not just buy some cheap emulsion (BandQ etc)
then paint over it after to restore it. Or, if you have a jet wash machine, that'll clean off most emulsions if done fairly soon after (even next day)
What effect are you after..?
 
Kiddy liquid paints sound good :)

It's just a bare brick wall. Not painted before. No jet wash machine, so has to be easily removed with buckets of water :p

I just want to be able to have flicks of colour on the brick wall, maybe some squiggly lines, just random I guess :)
 
I don't think I'd try something like that with brick, honestly. It's extremely porous, and even washable paints might be risky to use if you really have to be able to get it all off.
 
I'm thinking I might just photoshop in something on the wall instead. It's for a clothing shoot, so having noted down ideas, painting something on the back wall might actually be restricting for the shop logo to be placed in. Whereas I can logo it in on the wall.

Ramble.

Thank you all for your input though! :)

Yup - my question about bare brick was for the reason CJ and Brains said - too porous.
