Product Information

It became very popular in the 70’s and 80’s, and so nowadays people use it for a kind of retro feel, or on a feature wall for a different sort of look. Once you resize, the selected part should be pixelated and blurred. If it is not blurred as much as you want, repeat the same steps a couple more times. The more you repeat, the more pixelated and blurry it becomes. The effect will work best if the glaze colour is a similar hue to the basecoat you have chosen, but a couple of shades darker or lighter. We have a project on how to prep for painting that explains all that is needed to do before you paint a room. Colour Wash Effects The rag will take the paint off the wall and then redeposit it again, which creates a soft, ruffled pattern and allows the base colour to peek through.

Step 4: Using the bottom-right corner of the selection, drag the selection box inwards to decrease its size. Make it very small. But keep in mind that it should be just enough for to be able to resize it again. Don’t press too hard or you will just end up smearing the paint and saturating the brush. After every stroke clean the bristles with a dry rag to remove the build-up of paint. Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water.Porous, or ‘thirsty’ surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 750ml tin will provide less than 6m 2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected. Try not to press too hard with the cloth as you may start to spear the paint, rather than defusing it. For new plaster, industry standard advice is to apply an initial mist coat - in which case you can thin Frenchic wall paint with tap water up to a maximum of 10%. Now, select “Color 2” and choose the color of your choice. This color will be used by Paint for the blurring effect. To make the result look more natural, it’s recommended to choose a color that closely matches the color of the part you are blurring. For instance, if you are blurring a face, choose a color that resembles the skin tone. However, if you wish, you could use a slightly contrasting colour to the base coat of a modern touch.

Again, do not allow the rag to become too saturated with paint. Refold it or change for a new rag if necessary. Sponging Paint Effects Tap Smudge the select a brush from the Brush Library.
