Faux painting techniques, like this double-process burlap strie, can add grace and sophistication to any room.
Step 6: Continue applying the single-process color and using the strie brush for the pattern. When the first run of pattern has been applied, use the 4-inch latex brush to apply more of the single-process color over the base coat. Again, cover an area just slightly under two widths of the strie brush. Distribute the paint evenly, leaving a little more paint at the beginning of the wall to be able to drag across the wall with the strie brush. Use the strie brush again to make the pattern, always overlapping the previous pass by a quarter-inch and keeping the brush nearly flat to the wall.
Overlap the previous pass by a quarter-inch.
