Faux-Finishes

Step by step

The patina on the walls

The patina on the walls of this bathroom is easy to achieve and adds a touch of history to these elegant hues.


Quantities of paint necessary:


Voice of Color®-approved latex paints,
Eggshell finish:

 

Soft Suede 313-3:

  one quart
  Ivory Tower 313-1 :   one quart


Faux-Finish product:

   
 

Clear Blending Glaze: 17-50:

 

one gallon




Technique for the patina:

  1. First, use a roller to paint the wall in Ivory Tower.


  2. Blend 3 parts Clear Blending Glaze to 1 part Soft Suede.


  3. After dipping a paint brush in the Glaze mix, apply it, tapping gently over the wall with the tip of the brush. (Tip: use an old brush. Older, drier, more “spread out” bristles will achieve a greater effect than a new bristles.)


  4. Tap the surface gently with a cloth in order to gently blend and partially remove some of the Glaze that was applied in Step 3.
