overgraining – woodgraining over real wood to augment, yet not completely camouflage, it's original appearance.
ragging - ragging is a very popular faux painting technique, ragging can produce a fine, sparse, finish or a dramatic, dense faux painting finish. Ragging has a soft, crushed velvet appearance. The base coat is done in oil or water-based paint. The water-based method mixes equal amounts of paint, water, and acrylic scumble glaze to a creamy consistency. The oil-based method requires mixing equal amounts of oil-based paint, mineral spirits, and oil scumble glaze.The finish is achieved by loading up the glaze on a crumpled rag, removing excess paint on a towel or paper. Then, starting at the top of the wall, pouncing the rag on the surface to leave a textured pattern. Other layers of color can be added, the last color will be the dominant color. Corners may need to be fiddled in with a small brush.
rag rolling - this faux painting technique is a more sophisticated version of ragging.(see ragging) You bunch the rag up and roll it across the glazed surface.(brown paper bags can be used for a more dramatic texture). Work from top to bottom.
spattering - this faux painting technique is appropriate for furniture, objects, faux antique or aged faux finish. Water-based or oil-based paints can be used. You can finger spatter with combs or dip and tap with a paint brush and stick.
