Faux Painting Finish - Color Washing


This site requires that javascript be enabled to view all of our content.

    Color washing is the faux painting technique that gives you a soft, subtle, aged look to your walls. Color washing is a flexible faux painting technique which can be varied in appearance to the way in which the oil or latex paint is wiped off or on. You can use cheese cloth, brushes, or sponges for this finish. Color washing is great for walls that lack personality. Emily Smith displays examples of her faux painting color washing work below.
