paint (base coat: Yellow Fickle SW1367, Golden Fleece SW6388) (Sherwin-Williams)
clear glaze
rags
paint roller
paint trays
paintbrushes
Steps:
1. Apply the base coat and let dry.
2. To recreate the mottled appearance on the featured fabric, mix one part Golden Fleece paint with three parts clear glaze. Dip a rag into the mixture and apply it to the walls with a very loose rolling and blotting technique. Don't worry about how heavy or light the pattern is at this point.
