Put your own spin on color washing by creating the perfect finish for a picture frame. This stunning technique requires two colors of paint: a basecoat (we used black) and a contrasting “color wash” (we chose a rusty red). You will also need a stiff-bristled brush to apply the wash, so the brush strokes stand out.
Paint Perfection. First, prime the frame and apply the basecoat. Now load the brush with paint, and dab off the excess. Brush aggressively in a criss-cross motion to create the brush strokes.
