INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Mix Sandstone, Farrow & Ball Dead Salmon paint and Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic Titanium White until you have a light, muted pink that will be the main color of your wall. Sandstone has a gray tint to it. You may want to add some white paint or primer to lighten it more. Apply Sandstone mixture to the top edge of your trowel and spread a thin layer over the wall in mainly horizontal strokes.

2 | Allow the layer in Step 1 to dry and apply a second coat in the same manner.

3 | Mix up three color glazes by adding the Farrow & Ball paint or a variation of the Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic colors to tint the Sheer Glazing Medium. You will want a white glaze, a muted burnt sienna glaze, and a rosy mauve glaze, as pictured.

4 | Brush the glazes horizontally in bands across the surface and soften with a terry cloth rag. Make different bands of texture by using different tools. Try a softer brush and blend gently up and down, or try using a brush then dragging with a spatula. Experiment with spritzing the wet glaze lightly with water. Let it begin to break up the glaze a bit and then blot with the rag. Watch for drips.

5 | Add a finishing touch by pouring a bit of the white glaze into the small spray bottle. Moving your arm quickly across in a horizontal movement, spray the white glaze onto the wall.
