It seems as if you have to apply one color and then the other. When actually it's better to add the colors at the same time. Use two brushes. And put a few x's on the wall off one color and then a few of the other. alternate and blend before the glaze dry's. Keep working the entire wall corner to corner ceiling to floor. If you stop in the middle you might have an exaggerate demarcation. Good luck and have fun! Debra Kim… you are on the right track.

We are going with a Tuscan color scheme. We chose a color from Valspar Faux Collection. Our base color is a spicy mustard color with two different glazes. The glaze colors are brilliant red and copper. The instruction that I have is to apply the glaze with a colorwash brush in small "X" patterns. That part seems pretty simple, my question though is which glaze should I apply first...or does it matter? I'm guessing the red would go on first and then follow with the copper. Am I on the right track? Any suggestions. Debra,

I will need to do the mural on panels which will be installed. What type of wood, masonite etc panels do you recommend and would you just prime them with kilz first? What thickness of panels are best? I have a concern about warpage. Thanks! Keri I am doing a mural in a public building. I will need to do the mural on panels which will be installed.
