- Glazing or color washing. This process dilutes paints or varnishes in order to thin them so they can be used to apply a transparent or translucent film of color.
- Stippling, or pouncing. This process delivers a sandy or lightly patterned effect using a specialized stippling brush to modify the surface of a glaze.
- Ragging, or rag rolling. A second glaze color, of a different hue, is wiped into place with a rag to create a purposely uneven effect.
- Strié, or dragging. A glaze is applied to a base color, and then a dry brush is dragged over the glaze in a vertical or horizontal direction to create fine lines.
- Sponging. A rough sponge is used to apply an uneven finish to a base coat or to a second coat of paint in a contrasting color.
- Stenciling. You may hand-paint stenciled designs to a painted wall.
