RECIPE
Step One: Apply two coats of Pratt and Lambert
Accolade Velvet Finish tinted to #1680 Fig. Let
paint dry for several hours.
Step Two: Most any glaze or latex varnish can be
used to do this technique, including Ralph Lauren Technique
Glaze, Pratt and Lambert Latex Glaze, Pratt and Lambert Oil
Glaze, Polyvine Scumble and Polyvine Classic Colour Effects.
Mix 3 parts glaze with 1 part paint. For a more subtle finish,
add more glaze to the mixture. In this case, we have used
Accolade Velvet #2082 Buccaneer and #1678 Passion Flower.
Step Three: Pour your glaze mixture into a paint
tray. You will need a few lint free rags (sheeting),
as well as the rag roller. Immerse one rag into the glaze
mixture and wring out as much product as possible. Roll the
Rag Roller through the glaze, and then roll some of the glaze
onto some cardboard. Now roll the glaze onto the wall in a
random fashion. Try to get as close to the ceiling and corner
as possible. Use the loose rags to get into any area that
is missed with the rag roller. When the glaze runs low, reload
in the tray and continue as above.
Step Four: Repeat step three using the second color.
Step Five: Stand Back and Admire!
