 Faux
finishing is a painting technique used to create the illusion of texture
on a wall. It's developed into something of an art form, using simple
tools like sponges and rags to produce effects that leave virtually
no traces of the tool. It's appropriate on drywall, plaster or wood,
and requires no additional preparation than any other new paint job,
just a clean, primed surface ready for finishing. Sponge Finishes The most common faux finishes are accomplished with natural sea sponges, applying one or more accent colors over the base coat. Rag Roll Finish Rag-rolling is a faux finish similar in technique to the sponge finish, but rags are used instead.  Parchement
