DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Faux painting techniques, like this double-process burlap strie, can add grace and sophistication to any room.
Step 12: Continue the process across the room.
Continue across the wall, adding one or two brush-widths of tinted glaze with a 4-inch latex brush then slowly pulling the strie brush down over the paint with a straight, even motion. Remember to use a clean, lint-free cotton rag to wipe the strie brush dry after one or two passes, which will keep the brush from holding too much paint. It’s the dry strie brush that makes a crisp burlap pattern.
Follow steps #10 and #11 to complete the double-process burlap strie pattern.
