Rag-rolling.

Rag-rolling gives surfaces a richly textured finish, reminiscent of the random patterns of crushed velvet.

  Use the technique to add colour and interest to walls, doors, furniture and accessories.

  The term "rag-rolling" is used loosely to describe three main effects created using a rag or cloth.



  Ragging   - a fairly quick technique created by dabbing a paint-saturated rag onto the desired surface.
  Ragging-on   - another additive technique, but this time, the rag is rolled across the surface.
  Ragging-off   - a more subtle (subtractive) effect created by removing wet glaze with a dry rag.


  With experience, you may wish to combine several of the above techniques, or use one technique combining several colours.
