INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: All mixed colors below will reference a Benjamin Moore paint color where needed to guide you while you are mixing your colors. This is for reference only unless it is a basecoat.
1 | Basecoat in Benjamin Moore CC-20 Decorator’s White and let dry.
2 | Mix ½ cup Golden Paintworks Metallic Texture Pearl Base with ¼ cup Golden Paintworks Glazing Medium and roll on evenly. Use a wallpaper brush to brush horizontally and evenly. You are just adding texture here but also simulating threads.

3 | Mix approximately 1 cup Metallic Texture Pearl Base with ⅛ cup Glazing Medium, and to this add Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics, starting with one drop of Raw Umber, then a small squirt of Titanium White, and 3 drops of Raw Sienna. You are just shifting it barely off white to match to Benjamin Moore 967 Cloud White. You may have to add another drop or two of Raw Sienna. Set aside.
4 | Measure and tape off your stripes. You can only do every other stripe at one time and then they must dry.

5 | Trowel or roll in between area taped off with the tinted Metallic Texture mixture. Add an even thick layer, not necessarily smooth and use your wallpaper brush to lightly pull horizontally to simulate threads. Right away, use the Wavy Trowel to pull vertically and slightly over the tape line. You can pull down until it looks how you want, but pulling too many times will pull off too much product and you will have to reapply more product. Repeat for all taped lines. Pull tape and let dry.

6 | Tape the alternating rows not previously done and repeat the above process. Pull tape and let dry.

7 | Use the Darcie Gold Pen to lightly hit the edges of any rows that you want to see this edging on.

Here’s the final texture.

About the Artist
Robin Belisle, owner and Decorative Artist at Faux Couture, is a self taught artist who began her decorative painting career in 1998 after an extraordinary encounter with a faux finishing class. From there, she made a pointed decision to become the best decorative painter she could be and searched out award winning designers and builders to work with. She has traveled to Italy, Paris, many times to Morocco and all over the world leaving her mark on homes and hotels in need of artistic interpretation. This in turn has helped her hone her craft and create many signature finishes based on her travels. She has been featured in magazine articles, trade shows and the local news as trends to watch. She began teaching in her own studio and then taught many classes across the US. She joined the Board of Directors for the International Decorative Artisans league (IDAL) as education chair. As that chapter drew to a close, she knew she would eventually be teaching more. She has since joined other instructors on THE PAINT HIVE teaching online decorative painting classes.
