Techniques for interior painting

There are also decorative interior painting techniques that add a visual interest to your walls. Some decorative interior painting techniques that you can use include color washing, cracking or aging or ragging.

Other decorative interior painting techniques include metal blades, cloth painting or cloth rolling and sponge.

First, here are some techniques for painting with a professional look. First, when using a brush, hold it near the bottom of the handle close to the brush for better control. When adding paint to the brush, dip the brush halfway into the paint and then drain it at the edge of the can. Put enough pressure on the brush to just bend the brush and avoid wearing too hard.

When using a roller, roll the roller into the paint and slowly roll it back and forth to coat evenly. Remove extra paint by rolling the roller back and forth over the back of the tray. Paint a small square at a time instead of using long, up and down strokes. interior painting

For the best decorative interior painting techniques, try one of these for drama or visual interest. Color washing involves two latex paint colors of similar shade and brightness. First paint the wall in a base coat using the lighter of the two colors. The bottom coat should be satin finish. After the base coat is dry, you can dip a terry cloth in top coat and rub the color of the wall into swirls, work from top to bottom and from left to right, experimenting with the thickness of the topcoat. Allow time to finish the entire project at once.

Another interior painting technique is the crackling or aging of a wall. Start again with a solid latex for the base coat. Generally, you choose an eggshell finish in a color you want that appears through cracks and cracks in the finish. To this interior paint technique, you add a commercially purchased additive, a "crack" or "antique" additive to your top coat paint. The additive thickens the paint and gets the crack in the finish. You use a wax to seal the finish on the wall.

A very popular interior painting technology is uneven. This interior painting technology, also called filter scrolling, gives a great depth and visual interest as it uses a mixture of three different colors.

Choose two complementary colors from the same color family for a basecoat, paint them randomly across the wall and cover it completely. Then dilute a lighter topcoat with three parts water and one paint. To finish off the look of this interior painting technique, dip a cloth in the diluted paint and press it loosely on the wall, mixing the three colors together.
