Antique Finish (Brush)

This special "negative" antiquing technique creates an intimate atmosphere and style by removing paint with a brush.

Step 1 — Preparation

Step 2 — Base Color

Using a roller, apply a Pittsburgh® Paints latex paint Peach Dip 119-4 as a base color.
Allow 6 to 8 hours to dry.

Step 3 — Texture

In a plastic container, blend 3 parts Clear Blending Glaze to 1 part eggshell finish latex paint, color Georgian Leather 224-5.
Pour into a pan.

Using a roller, apply the tinted glaze, working in
36 in x 36 in irregular sections.
Holding an almost-dry brush perpendicular to the surface, drag the brush through the wet glaze coat, dabbing in different directions and pouncing the surface to create texture.
To keep consistent texture, remove excess glaze from brush, by blotting on paper towels, old rags or newspapers.
Repeat the process until you cover the entire wall.
The glaze allows for an open time of approximately
15 minutes.

Keep a wet edge and blend from one area to the next to avoid leaving hard demarcation lines between sections.
