RECIPE
Step One: Apply two coats of Pratt and Lambert Accolade
Satin finish tinted to #2081 Ginger Whip . 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 tinted to #2015 Loam.
Latex Glaze: Mix your glaze in the ratio of 5 parts Polyvine
Scumble: 1 part Accolade Velvet mixed to #2015 Loam.
Step Three: Roll the glaze onto the surface with
a 10mm lint free roller sleeve. If doing a wall, start by
rolling a section about 3 feet wide by the length of the wall.
Roll as close to the ceiling and trim as you can. With a stippling
brush, or hogs hair softener, stipple up to the ceiling and
trim.
Step Four: You will need a dragging brush, graining
tool or cheesecloth to create the dragged or combed effect.
Working quickly, pull the tool through the wet glaze, applying
pressure. If you are using cheesecloth to do a strie, roll
the cheesecloth into a long, narrow shape, and pull it through
the glaze as many times as necessary for a softer pattern.
IF WORKING A WALL, DO NOT WORK THE OPEN EDGE OF glaze. Instead,
roll your next section into the unworked edges of the previous
section.
Step Five: Repeat until the entire surface has been
worked.
Step Six: Stand back and admire!
