Techniques/Typical Uses:
|
Use palette knife, scruffy brush or sponge to peak: Dab tool into wet Terra Cotta. Press down and immediately lift straight up. Repeat with a pouncing motion until desired effect is achieved. Use stencils to create relief designs: Position stencil on surface. Tape or hold stencil with fingers to secure. Use palette knife to spread Terra Cotta over open stencil area. Carefully lift stencil. Let dry. Combing: Use Texture Tools to achieve a variety of designs. Apply Terra Cotta on project surface. Use straight side of Texture Tool to smooth out. Choose Texture Tool shape as desired. Drag tool through wet Terra Cotta. Circles are made by using one side of the tool as a pivot-just sweep tool around in a complete circle. Waves, zig-zags and more are done by moving the tool from side to side as it is dragged through the wet Terra Cotta. Stripes and a woven look are easily accomplished by dragging the tool in straight or diagonal lines. Wipe tool on paper towel or cloth after each pass to assure clean images. A smoother, more uniform look can be achieved by applying Terra Cotta with a brush or palette knife. The straight side of the Texture Tools is also great for smoothing and leveling. Antiquing Methods: Terra Cotta may be glazed with Elegant Finish Glazes or your own mix. To make a glaze, mix equal parts water and DecoArt Faux Glazing Medium with up to 35% Americana Acrylic color of your choice. Once your project is dry, brush glaze over surface. Immediately wipe excess glaze from surface with a soft cloth. For a more subtle appearance, dampen the cloth before wiping back. |
