Painting (cont., pg. 3)

 

Rag Rolling and Sponging


Rag rolling (right) is just what the name implies.

A rag is rolled over the surface, creating a shaded, distressed look.

A look of texture and depth is the result.

Sponging (below) involves pressing the paint onto the surface with a sponge.

Stone and Metal Paint

Specialty paints can create unique looks.  

Stone paint creates a look like its name.

Metal paint can create an interesting look on ceilings and moldings.
