TICKLING
J's Designs - Faux Tickling

 

 

Like dusting your walls with a little color.

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 your glaze and paint in equal parts to begin. For a more subtle finish, add more glaze to the mixture. In this case, we have used Accolade Velvet #2081 Ginger Whip and Accolade Velvet #1678 Passion Flower.

Step Three: Pour your glaze mixture into a shallow container (you won't need much for this technique). Dip one side of a moistened feather duster into the mixture. Blot excess glaze onto a piece of cardboard. Now gently touch the feather duster to the surface (try to avoid smearing the paint). It is best to turn your duster each time you dab the wall. This makes the pattern you are creating more random. Cover the entire wall with this color. (If you work with a friend, remember that everyone's technique is somewhat different. Consider having each person do one colour for consistency).

Step Four: Repeat step three using your second colour. (Remember to stand back to make sure your pattern is even).

Step Five: Stand Back and Admire!
