Adding texture

To give the wall a uniform look, certain texture is added before applying finish on them. Spackle compound, thinned drywall mud, rollers, a painting tray and color are some main materials which are required during this technique. This technique is usually meant to fill any holes or cracks found on the walls. In other words, the technique is meant to make the walls perfect for applying desired color.

Primer is also added to ensure the texture compounds stick properly. Thinned drywall mud is then added when the primer dries. Soon the texture compound dries; desired color is needed to apply on the walls. It can be said that texturing is the ideal technique to hide slight imperfections found on the walls.

 

Chalkboard paint

To make the entire wall into chalkboard, the professionals need to make use of blue painter's tape, a paint roller, paintbrushes, chalkboard color and surface primer. And for the removal of chalkboard, the knife is used to ensure a straight and clean edge during the removal of tape. The technique is used mostly to decorate child's room.

 

Patina

For patina technique, different kinds of materials are required like oblong stipple brush, a thick rectangular brush, a round glazing brush, a small fine brush, two tinted oil-based glazes, oil-based color paint and several rolls.

 

The wall is painted with a base color and leave to dry. Then after, the lighter glaze with the round brush is applied followed by darker glaze in the same way. This help in filling in the spots that are left by the first glaze. With the help of stipple brush, the glaze is applied in twisting and tapping motion.  Finally, this technique is needed to blot the wet surface with the help of 4-foot section of crumpled cheesecloth.

Is paper used for water clolor painting,arcylic color painting and oil painting different ?

Please tell me if three different kinds of papers are used for water color,arcylic color and oil painting are used ?

Because each medium works differently, so the paper choice is different. For water color and acrylic, you can use the water color paper for both medium. As for oil, you need to have a barrier between the paper and the oil paints, thus, a water color paper will not work. You can gesso the water color paper for oils and acrylic. You also can shallac the water color paper to form a non porous surface for both oil and acrylic. Acrylic works both way. It can work like water color when painted transparent and it also works like oil. You can paint acrylic just on any surface, but water color requires its special kind of paper and so does oil.
