PROJECT SUPPLIES:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 | Base paint with a white, high-hiding, all purpose primer.

2 | Using a nappy winnie roller, apply two coats of Golden Paintwork, Metallic White Veil, dry in between coats. Apply full coverage, rolling in a random pattern; for this application overlapping paint lines is not a concern.

3 | Mix 1 part Metallic White Gold with 4 parts Acrylic Limewash. Using the box brush, apply random strokes in a crisscross pattern, achieving full coverage. Apply two coats, drying in between coats.

4 | Complete one wall at a time without any “stops and starts,” to provide a more uniform look.

Here is the final finish.

All four girls worked in drywall and much of Shiree’s knowledge and love for texture comes from working with her father. Shiree loves learning about new products, techniques and the chemistry behind the product. Shiree believes there is nothing like on-the-job training, experimenting, and she’s always open to learning something new. Shiree loves the diversity of finishes she creates and the collaboration she has with designers and decorators. In addition to her work creating decorative finishes, Shiree began honing her fine art skills in 2006 with oils on canvas and over the years has expanded to abstract acrylic art on Lucite and watercolors.
