Faux Grasscloth Paint Technique

9 years ago

Hello!

I'm looking to apply a faux grasscloth paint technique to my living room in a deep navy.

Right now, my walls are painted navy (BM Van Deusen Blue) in a flat/matte finish. I'd like to go over this in a darker navy (BM Hale Navy)

What type of paint *finishes* do I use for this technique? Would I use a satin glaze?
