RECIPE
Step One: Apply two coats of Pratt and Lambert
Accolade Satin finish tinted to #1098 Wafted Feather.
Let paint dry for several hours.
Step Two: There are two types of glazes that can
be used to do this technique; oil glaze and latex glaze.
Oil glaze: Pratt and Lambert Oil Glaze mixed
to #2257 Shadow Beige and #2304 Rubidoux.
Latex Glaze: Mix your glazes in the ratio of 5 parts
Polyvine Scumble: 1 part Accolade Velvet mixed
to #2257 Shadow Beige and #2304 Rubidoux.
Step Three: Cut Kraft paper or lighter to length
of the height of the wall, adding two feet. Cut enough strips
to cover all the surfaces once.
Step Four: Start in a corner and roll the glaze onto
the wall with a 10mm lint free roller sleeve. Roll as close
to the ceiling and trim as you can. With a stippling brush,
stipple up to the ceiling and trim.
Step Five: Press the paper into the wet glaze. Have
one person hold the paper in place while the other rubs the
paper into the surface. (Be careful not to leave imprints
of the palm or your hand.) Remove the paper.
Step Six: While the glaze is still wet, you may want
to press small pieces of paper into the glaze to detail any
area that needs it.
Step Seven: Roll next section of glaze and repeat.
Step Eight: When first glaze is dry, repeat process
with second glaze color.
