A stiff-bristle brush dragged through a wet paint/glaze mixture creates this finely textured look.
Tools + Materials
• paint roller + roller covers
• paintbrushes (for cutting in)
• semigloss or satin latex paint, two colors
• glaze medium
• stiff-bristle brush (use a synthetic broom head or a specialty brush.
1. Paint a base coat of semigloss paint (we used yellow-green) on the wall; let dry.
2. Mix a contrasting color (we used forest green) with decorator’s glaze in a ratio of 1 part paint to 4 parts glaze. Cut in the mixture with a brush, then roll it on a 4-foot-wide section. Important: The mixture needs to be wet for the next step.
3. Drag a stiff-bristle brush vertically through the glaze mixture, working from top to bottom. After each pass, wipe the brush on a damp cloth. Slightly overlap the passes. Roll the glaze mixture onto the next 4-foot-wide section and continue dragging the brush.
