Decorative wall techniques use coats of glaze to add flawlessness and depth to the finished wall
Decorative wall techniques can be wiped or rolled on to give surfaces and objects the look of mellowed age. They offer the home painter the opportunity to add pattern, texture, and layers of color to the painted wall.
A colored glaze is applied over a base coat of eggshell or semi gloss paint, then the wet glaze is immediately worked with a dry brush to create a delicate and detailed vertical pattern. Some effects are quite easy for one person to apply and yield excellent results, even to beginners.
Decorative wall painting techniques can be used to enhance almost any surface, surprisingly, they are often simple to create. You should practice these techniques on a piece of board to discover the stroke and resulting effect that you find attractive and satisfying. Walls created with layers of paint in motion possess a lively, vibrant quality that makes a powerful and memorable impression. You might want to experiment with quantities until you achieve the depth of color you want.
As far as color combination, decorative painting techniques can give more dramatic results. You could either use premix paint that have already been colored by the manufacturer or tint some white paint yourself. Decorating paints are quite adequate for the base colors of wall areas, There are two types of paint can be used: oil-based, which usually gives the greatest depth to the color; water based latex or acrylic paints, which give a flatter color but dry rapidly. So avoid mixing any more than you can use in a day.
