Faux painting techniques, like this double-process burlap strie, can add grace and sophistication to any room.
Step 3: Measure, mix and stir the first strie color. The first process strie color is made up of the latex semi-gloss, gloss or eggshell color you want for the stripes. This is mixed with a latex glaze. The glaze is a clear carrier that you use to make the strie color more transparent and to allow you enough time to lay down the pattern. The mixing ratio is five parts of latex glaze to one part of eggshell latex paint. The glaze looks milky white, but it dries clear. Measure and pour the glaze into the mixing bucket first, then add the paint. Stir the glaze thoroughly to blend the glaze and paint together.
Mix together five parts latex glaze to one part latex paint.
