Professional Faux-Finishing

There are many different glaze application techniques to use on walls and other interior surfaces. Some of the most common are:

  • Ragging – This clever technique creates a rustic yet sophisticated finish. Ragging involves applying thinned paint to a wall with a special lint-free cloth. Rolling the cloth, or rag, over the wall results in a subtle dimensional effect.
  • Sponging – There are two types of paint sponging: sponging on and sponging off. Both start with a base coat that is allowed to dry completely. In sponging on, one or two accent colors, thinned with glaze, are applied to the base coat with a sea sponge. In sponging off, the accent color is mixed with a glaze and brushed onto the wall in a thin coat. A sea sponge is dabbed quickly onto the still-wet accent color to remove some of the glaze and create a unique textured look.
  • Color rubbing – This painting technique is exactly what it sounds like. After the base coat is completely dry, an accent color is rubbed on with a cloth to create a one-of-a-kind look.
  • Tortoise-shelling – For a truly dramatic effect, there is nothing like tortoise-shelling. This detailed, precise technique involves using artist’s brushes to apply a specially-mixed glazing coat in patches, pulls, and spatters. The result is a dark, luxurious finish.
  • Other glazing and texture effects – Our talented painters are well-versed in every type of faux-finishing technique. Encore can create an impressive look in any room of your home with a wide range of finishes, including:
