Texture Painting

Although texture is an important element of our homes, we often overlook the subtle background surfaces that surround us. Texture painting is a way to bring that element to the fore by adding a third dimension to walls. The possibilities for texture painting variations are almost limitless.
The depth of the texture you’ll get will depend on the stiffness of the paint, the amount you apply to the surface and the tool you use to create the texture pattern. As with any painting project,
begin by washing and drying the walls thoroughly, to ensure that the paint will adhere properly to the surface. For best results, experiment with different textures on sheets of cardboard until you get the effect you’re looking for.
