If this washed effect is what you are going for, you won’t need to spend a lot of time getting the second glaze effect perfectly balanced.

Depending on how much you work the surface, this wash effect can produce an illusion of anything from a sandstone wall to a watercolor effect. It is a very expressive faux painting technique.
Wipe down the surface with the damp rag.
