Use a heart grainer to make a circular mark at frequent intervals, use a triangle comb and make a plain vertical stripe. When glaze is tacky, strie' down the surface with a flogging brush and to carefully soften in a horizontal direction to complete the faux finish.

(Murals Examples)
mutton cloth - this faux painting technique also known as stockinet, this cloth is used to remove surplus paint and provides a fine, weave-like, delicate faux finish. The oil glaze is applied with a brush over an eggshell base coat and the surplus paint is removed with the mutton cloth. A richer effect can be achieved by painting several layers over one another, allowing each layer to dry in between.
