b'Resene awash with colour AnglaiseThe resurgence of paint effectsand, in particular, limewashinghas, without question, become one of the hottest trends around. Those wishing to imitate the look of Mediterranean or concrete walls and floors are in luck, because its a look thats very simple to create. Start by painting your walls in two coats of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel (or Resene Walk-on flooring and paving paint for your flooring) tinted to your favourite Resene colour. Once trends dry, use a Resene testpot in a similar colour thats one or two values other lighter or darker than your base colour to colour a can of Resene FX Paint Effects medium. Then, simply use a rag dipped in the mixture to apply it in a circular motion over your base colour with one hand and soften the look with a clean, dry rag using your other hand. To give it even more depth, repeat the process again with the same colour (or a third one). To pull it back, dip your rag in your base hue and apply it to any areas where the effect is too strong. If you prefer a more brushed style apply the coloured Resene FX Paint Effects medium by brush using a random criss cross technique.Left: Wall in Resene Anglaise with Resene FX Paint Effects medium coloured with Resene Calico, ragged for a textural effect.
