Tools:    Roller cover and handle, newspaper, brown tape, level, measuring tape. Glaze:    Color of choice Number of People:    Two   Preparing To Paint: Using the level, measure 8" from the top corner of the wall inward and mark that width with a piece of masking tape. Also use the level to measure 8" inward from the bottom corner of the wall. Now, use your level to tape off the entire line, top to bottom, with the smaller pieces of masking tape as your guide. Bring the level down the wall to ensure the line is straight. Continue across the wall, measuring and using a level to create equal, straight lines. Step 1: Once the stripes have been taped off, paint every other stripe with darker color. Step 2: Remove tape once you have finished painting a stripe. Repeat until entire wall is finished. Let dry. Step 3: Starting in upper corner of wall, roll on glaze in 3'X5' section. Step 4: Lay a piece of newspaper on wet glaze, starting in top corner. Lightly rub the newspaper once with your hand, then pull paper off wall. Move the paper over to a new section of glaze and repeat. Use the same sheet of paper four to five times, or until it does not remove glaze from the wall. At this point, discard and use a new sheet of newspaper. Step 5: Repeat over entire wall until finished.   Fabulous Glazed Finishes | Decorative Plasters | Marvelous Murals | Trompe L'oeil | Color and Design | Faux Business Class | Stone Sky Workshop | Marble Inlay | Wood Grain | Intensive Faux Training | Pascal's Fountain Mural [Links] Copyright © 2005 Creative Evolution.
