Painting art bubbles on a wall is an unexpectedly simple project, requiring materials that can be found mostly around the home. The bubbles add an aesthetic appeal to a child's room or can serve as a part of an underwater mural design. They can also be used to create a border along the edges of the wall. Painting wall art bubbles is a project that can be done with family or friends and the artwork can be appreciated for many years to come.

Gather several items around the house that are circular in shape, such as a penny or a plate.
Hold the circle templates or home items against the wall and trace around them with a pencil. Position the bubbles so the larger ones are centred and toward the bottom, while the smaller ones border and float above the larger bubbles.
Choose the type of paint to use depending on how you want the bubbles to look. Use an opaque paint for a more playful appearance; use an iridescent paint for a more realistic look; and use glow-in-the-dark or chalkboard paint to make a child's room look cool.
Dip the paintbrush in the metallic silver, opaque or chalkboard paint and outline around the bubbles before filling in the space. Let the paint air dry. Paint a second or third coat for a darker hue.
Mask the painted bubble with a thin coating of either an iridescent or glow-in-the-dark paint. Skip this step if you used chalkboard paint, as you don't want to mask the chalkboard feature. Paint a small, curved rectangle in the upper corner of the bubble that suggests a light source for a more realistic look.
