   | Many
traditional painting techniques can help you create an individual and
expressive design. They are particularly suitable for transparent glazing
paints. Repeated coats of supplementary or contrasting colour washes create
natural tone-change effects and a sense of depth.
To decorate walls with Colour wash plant glazes No. 360, the best substrate is a fresh, white wall paint (No. 320, 321, 322) or plaster (No. 302, 307, 308, 309, 311) surface. If you would like to apply the colour wash on an existing white coat, spots and damage that were previously not noticeable may become apparent with the new paint application. An additional preliminary coat of Natural resin primer No. 302 will keep this from happening. Hold ready a receptacle, water, and a stir stick. Now prepare the colour wash as described under the respective menu items. Brushes, sponges, cloths or stencils may be needed, dependent on the chosen application technique. Additionally, you may need the Colour wash binder No. 379 for self-mixed, thinned colour washes. |
