Texture and Color



I have named it the European Dry Brush Technique.



It takes at least three colors.








 Base Coat is creamy white.  Add the brightest color next. Tone down with next 2 colors.
Use water based paints thinned 6 to 1 with water  and apply with large, soft brush. Apply color to a 3x3 foot area feathering out towards edges.  Repeat till wall is covered.  






I sometimes add a fourth layer by painting a large flat sponge 
(not dipping sponge into paint) 
with an accent color and applying paint in a skipping, pushing and dabbing motion. 


Walls come alive when treated with this layering of colors  
 technique.  

Have a great week my dear
