        In this Project you will:

        Step 1: Prep the Room and Apply Base Coat

        Apply painter's tape around ceiling, windows and trim. Lay a drop cloth across the floor.

        Paint a base coat.

        Step 2: Apply the Darker Glaze

        While the base coat is drying, wrap twine around a lamb's wool roller in an irregular pattern.

        If you prefer, you can practice this painting technique on a piece of cardboard before painting on the wall.
