We received these pictures recently from one of our readers – Carol Gerber.
She explained that she achieved this beautiful faux finish in her billiard room with a color wash technique. She used a light yellow as the base color and two different glaze colors, one being a tan color and the other a metallic gold.
To get the cracked effect she used pages from an old scrapbook and ripped along the edge to create a jagged line. She held the paper against the wall and brushed along the edge.
The final touch was drybrushing the entire surface to create a “shimmering look” as she called it.
I think it came out great! What do you think?
I always love to see the art & creativity of my readers. So, if you have a room that you have muraled or faux finished, I would LOVE to post some pictures so others can enjoy as well!
