Simple paint techniques can
add such character to a dull flat paint job. Smooshing
will give you kind of a marble like finish and it is so
easy to do.
Gather
up some lightweight plastic drop cloths, latex satin
paint, glaze, a paint pan, a roller and some rubber
gloves.
Paint a
latex satin base coat on your walls and allow it to dry
overnight
Working one wall at a time, roll your glaze onto the wall.
You need to do the technique when the glaze is still wet
so if you have a big wall I would ask a buddy for help.
Unfold
a drop cloth and hold it up to the wall, let it stick to
the wet glaze. Repeat this process until the wall is
covered with plastic sheets.
Use
your hands to move the plastic around, smoosh it, wrinkle
it, then smooth it out. |
