Do a base coat in an undiluted solid color like pale grey or beige. Using a feather (goose quill is good) dip the feather tip in a darker color than the base - dark gray, burnt umber, etc. - and lightly trail it through the wet base coat in random veinlike patterns. Soften the "veins" with a fan brush or by "tonking". Tonking is done by pressing a clean piece of cloth - old t-shirt is good - against the canvas or surface and lifting it straight off.

There are some dodgy solutions right here - no ask your self people have gloss paint almost dripping off their woodwork! Eggshell is definitely a quite flat end many times utilized in deepest residences for woodwork or exterior surfaces like window sills. it incredibly is amazingly no longer hassle-free donning. there are a number of environmentally friendly eggshells attainable that are water-based yet traditionally eggshell has quite intense VOCs. attempt finding at Farrow and Ball's internet site - they supply an extremely good clarification of eggshell and different styles of paints attainable.

No, no one can help. You can't make a marbel effect. Try a marble effect instead.

you've gotta get a flat paint brush and then dip one side wit one color and the other with another then tip the brush to where the two colors are facing the paper and gently press it then gently lift it off.. keep repeating the strokes until u get what's necassary:)
