what finish did you use for the tan walls?

Greetings,

The finish I used was a mixture. 1 part dark brown paint with 4 parts glaze.

So its very loose and transparent. I applied the glaze mix using an old stiff brush that was fraying.

I spread it around thinly like icing a cake in different directions.

Hope this helps,

Terri:)

The wall looks beautiful, what did you used to blend or smudge the paint though? Also did you use primer before applying the paint and the glaze or is it not necessary?

Greetings, and thank you for your kind comments! Priming was not necessary. The walls were originally white. I painted them tan, you can see the tan color on the other walls. Using 4 parts glaze / 1 part paint is the trick to achieving this effect. I used an old, 4inch stiff brush, blending the look slightly with a rag. This faux effect looks the best on 1 accent wall. It's classy contemporary and can accentuate any decor. Look for new vids soon, and if you have any other questions, email me :)

Greetings!

Thanks for checking out my work!

The trick to this finish is to use the oldest, stiffest brush you have - or I have even used an old husk broom head. Depends on the texture that you want to see.

Any questions - just ask!

Have fun!
