Make brilliant Effects by your self

1- Sponging effects

When you look at this effect it should remind you with scattered drops of water on the surface, it gives you vibrant energy and warm live feel. And it's one of the easiest effects to apply.You can use many colors of glaze. 

The tools:

               Natural Sea Sponge                        Application roller 

    

     

Choosing your hue:

For quiet view choose the matching colors with furniture, curtain to focus on, or can you choose a different colors to achieve the strong effects.

A few ideas: By varying the pressure you can get a stronger and different effects.

If something goes wrong you can always sponge on the basecoat color to balance the final effect.

To get a stronger effect try to use two layers with same sponge color or use different colors with light color to dark.




2- Colorwash effect

It's like the desert that has been disturbed by the wind. It's as random as the infant's first scribbles. For a good idea of the effect, imagine haystacks, Sparrow's Nest and the wind clutters. 

This effect appears different and contrasting colors with even using one color glaze by moving sponge randomly it give a wonderful degree.





The tool: 
               Colourwash Sponge                  Application rolle


          


Choosing your hue: The colour range offered is saturated and pure. It has glowing colours and mystic hues. For a truly dramatic play of colours, mix two shades of the topcoat and create a magical moment.


A few ideas: To create a softer look, use colors from the Sponging palette. for a rich and dramatic effect, use color combinations from the Brushing Palette. 

Use colors from the Ragging Palette for a more vibrant effect. Try colorwahing several layers of the same color for a more intense effect.




3- Combing effect

Combing is a fun technique that creates a striated effect with paint. Vertical lines that mimic the sheen of opulent silk. Create waves, curves, horizontal stripes or weaves for a striking impression.

Combing allows you to transform virtually any smooth surface into delightfully textured & stylized veneer.

The tool: 

      Special Effects Comb or any sharp brush                  Application rolle                                     

                                  

Choosing your hue: This is a complex colour combination palette. We have used unexpected contrasts that are most suitable for this palette only.

A few ideas:: Work with stroke size you are comfortable with. Too much pattern may make this look busy. In the room where you use this texture, enhance its effect by using natural materials. Use cane furniture, handloom weaves or terracotta.

4- Ragging effect

Ragging is a faux finish technique used to create subtle or dramatic effects allowing you to create a fabric-like finish that changes the appearance of your entire room. The muted colour palette exudes a rich and hand worked feel.

Experimentation is the operative word when you want to rag. The Ragging effect in bolder colours can be casual and fun. The effect provides an almost surreal experience when set against minimalist, modern furniture or an abstract painting.

The tool: 

Ragging Roller 

(you can bye it from the store or easily fix some painting papers on a rolle)                                                                               

                                                                            

                                            Application rolle

Choosing your hue: The colours offered in Ragging are bolder, but still harmonious for tone on tone.

A few ideas: Traditional ragging calls for a topcoat colour that's few tones darker than the basecoat colour. To get a softer ragging effect, use the colour combinations from the Sponging Palette. For an eartier look use the colour combinations from the Spatula Palette.

5- Moire effect

Also called Graining, this effect gives the look of the old Moiré material and forms a pattern like the Moiré on Walls. The technique needs some skill and practice in application using the special graining tool. This is a glaze-off technique and requires faster working by paying extra care when doing over large surfaces to get an even pattern of the Moiré effect.

Combing allows you to transform virtually any smooth surface into delightfully textured & stylized veneer.

It looks a bit difficult but the result will surprise you.

The tool: 

                     Graining Tool                                     Application rolle              

                     

Preparing the base coat: First, apply the base coat colour from Acrycoat Silk or Eggshell Emulsion like normal emulsion finish with a roller and let it completely dry.

step 1 Wood 1: Get another person to help. As one person applies a roller width of glaze, the other should drag the graining tool from top to bottom with even pressure up and down wrist movement to create the pattern.

Step 2 Wood 2: Plan to complete the entire length in one stretch without stopping end to end, move the graining tool again vertically from top to bottom by constantly dragging it down and at the same time rolling the tool up and down to create the pattern. Keep wiping the glaze being removed every foot with a clean cloth to get a sharp pattern. For large surfaces it is recommended that one person applies the base coat while the other grains the glaze (Moiré Effect).

Creative Tips: Use this effect in thin strips over manageable lengths that can be completed in one stretch of application. Alternate strips can be in complementing or contrasting colours.
