How To: Rag Paint
Add a texture with warm and lively visual interest to walls and surfaces, using the faux finishing technique known as rag painting.
Here’s a way you can get a designer look for your painted walls. With a roller, apply an oil paint glaze over an already dry base coat. For your glaze, mix two parts oil-based paint with six parts glazing liquid. Lift off the glaze with a rolled-up rag. You can repeat this process with different colors for a layered look.
