Decorative plasters for interior decoration - painting process

After applying the mixture and its final hardening, it is possible to start painting the wall. There are several different ways. Quite often, use a dry roller or a wide brush. You first completely immerse this brush in a bath with paint, then carefully remove it from the sides of the bath. Before applying again, wipe the brush against a sheet of cardboard. During operation, it should only be kept parallel to the wall and can barely touch in different directions.

A more complex, but effective method of coloring, is the erosion of the paint. First you apply a layer of paint on the wall. Then, after a while, you wash it off with a damp cloth: the grooves turn out to be darker than the bulges, and a feeling of texture is created.
