RECIPE
Step One: Apply two coats of Pratt and Lambert
Accolade Satin Finish tinted to #1286 Airy Blue.
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: Use Pratt and Lambert Oil Glaze
tinted to #2257 Shadow Beige and #2255 Downy Gray.
Latex Glaze: Mix your glaze in the ratio of 5 parts
Polyvine Scumble: 1 part Accolade Velvet mixed
to #2257 Shadow Beige and #2255 Downy Gray.
Step Three: Start in a corner and roll the glaze
onto the wall with a 10mm lint free roller sleeve. Start by
rolling a section about 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. 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 several moistened, lint
free rags for this technique. Working quickly, dab the surface
with a bunched up rag. DO NOT WORK THE OPEN EDGE OF glaze.
Instead, roll your next section into the unworked edges of
the previous section. One person will roll the glaze out,
and the other will do the patterning.
Step Five: Repeat steps three and four until the
entire wall has been worked. Once the first color has dried,
repeat the process with the second color.
Step Six: Stand Back and Admire!
