| Winding | |
  | The winding
technique is an age-old method of producing natural contrasts on a coloured
background. A moist, lint-free linen or cotton cloth is wrung out, then
completely soaked in paint.
After wringing it out once again so that no paint runs out of it, the cloth is wound around a stick or handle to form a folded roll, then rolled back and forth across the wall while applying light pressure. Similar applicators are available commercially. |
| Stencilling / spray technique | |
  | Using
stencils made of cardboard or heavy paper, you can apply images you design
yourself to a surface in colour. Or you can paint around a positive form for a
negative image. Complex forms result from application of several superimposed
coats of transparent glazes.
The right tools are a stubby stencilling brush or an airbrush gun for filigree patterns. |
