Tips
for Decorative Painting
Most
decorative painting techniques are done with washes or
glazes. A wash is a watered down latex paint which is
quick drying and is suitable for "Sponging On" or "Ragging
On". A glaze is a thinned translucent alkyd based or latex
acrylic based mixture of clear glaze, colored paint and a
thinner or water (depending on latex or alkyd). More
complex techniques such as marbling or scrumbling work
best with alkyd based glaze which is slower drying and
allows more time to manipulate the finish. |
