Faux painting techniques, like this double-process burlap strie, can add grace and sophistication to any room.
Step 11: Use the strie brush to make the vertical pattern. Using the same cleaned and dried strie brush, hold the brush flat to the wall and, with a gentle pressure, drag the strie brush straight down from the top of the wall to the bottom. Rotate the brush slightly as you get to the bottom to continue the pattern evenly. Go back to the top of the wall, and repeat the process. Remember to overlap the previous pass by about a quarter-inch. Pull the strie bush down the wall, holding it flat.
