Faux Painting Techniques!
--
Rag Rolling:


Rag rolling or "ragging" creates dramatic texture. For this reason, many people prefer using softer, more closely related colors when ragging, as contrasting colors create a very bold effect. The process involves wetting a piece of cloth (about 2 feet square) with paint, wringing it out, rolling it into a loose "rat tail" or rope and then rolling it down the wall from top to bottom.

Cloth diapers or similar material work well for this method, but you'll need to use the same type of rags from start to finish. Keep plenty of rags on hand and change often to avoid paint build-up. Wearing rubber gloves and using both hands, roll the rag downward, changing the amount of pressure you apply to give a more varied texture. As in sponging, be sure to allow plenty of the base coat to show through when applying each subsequent topcoat. The final coat should be a diluted wash using the same color as the base coat, also applied by ragging.
