Plastique is a faux painting technique that provides rich, mottled texture to enhance any room.
Step 7: Tips and tricks. The trick to the plastique faux painting technique is keeping the work area neat, clean and organized so that you can move quickly from the first process color to the second process color and back again. The idea is to create your own artistic pattern, keeping the abstract design interesting. When the pad gets too saturated with glaze, lightly tap the wall with the plastic pad and rotate the pad. Stand back from the wall from time to time to make sure the results are uniform in color and density. You can always go back and touch up an area with either the lighter or darker color to make it even.
Rotate the pad when it gets saturated with glaze.
