How to create a color wash effect


Color Washing can be given a variety of textures and patterns depending on the size and type of brushes. Although this technique involves the application of one color over another, the final result would give an impression of a single color.

The thumb rule being that the glaze topcoat should be tinted in a much darker shade than the base coat.

You can create various shapes and patterns - wavy lines, crisscross strokes, and diagonal trellis designs, just by controlling the direction of the brush stroke.
