RECIPE
Step One: Apply two coats of Ralph Lauren Acrylic
Satin finish tinted to WH01D Tennis Court White.
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.
J's Designs will tint Ralph Lauren Technique Glaze and
Pratt and Lambert Latex and Oil Glazes for you, otherwise
mix your glaze in the ratio of 5 parts glaze: 1 part Accolade
Velvet mixed to #2081 Ginger Whip and #2257 Shadow
Beige. For a more subtle finish, add more glaze to the
mixture.
Step Three: Pour your glaze mixture into a paint
tray or deep pail. You can use a sea sponge, cellulose sponge,
cotton rags, or a paint mitt. You will need your application
tool moistened to begin. Apply product to your tool by dipping
it in the mixture. Beginning in a corner and working in medium
size sections, rub the mixture into the wall in a circular
motion (for a clouded, non-directional effect). If
you are using a glaze which dries quickly try to make the
edges of your section disappear.
Step Four: Soften any texture marks with a hog hair
softener, soft bristle brush, or soft cloths.
Step Five: If you are working with a quick drying
glaze, work the next section up to, but not overlapping
the previous one, otherwise, work the next section into
the one previous. Continue until surfaces are complete.
Step Six: Repeat steps three through five with second
glaze color.
