DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Ragging is a faux painting technique that provides both warmth and texture to any room.
Step 9: Use a stipple brush to fix areas.
Another approach to deal with random areas that need fixing is to load a stipple or chip brush with tinted glaze. Tap the ends of the bristles on the areas to be repaired. You can re-apply the pattern with a cotton cloth and soften the results with cheesecloth.
Apply glaze with a stipple brush, then rag with a cloth.
