• Use at least three colors for this technique, but, after that, you can use as many as you like.
• Choose at least one pale hue, one medium hue, and one dark hue for this technique for richer results.
• You don't have to prime over a previously painted wall. Instead, just work over it. When you're finished, you'll see hints of the original color, which will create more interest. If you are unhappy with the amount of color that shows through, just apply more paint.
• Don't wipe excess paint off the trowel; the randomness of the application is what creates the illusion of depth.
• Apply a final, lightly tinted antiquing glaze over the entire wall to add depth and unite the colors.
