Step 2: Select a small portion either on the right or left side near the area that you want to blur or hide using the Select tool. For instance, in the following screenshot, I want to hide the text ‘M Voda added you’. I will select the right area. Surface preparation required in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface. Wipe off any dust, paint away! For a great demonstration, see our video. A 2.5l tin will provide a coat of up to 35m 2. For a durable finish, 2 coats are required, so your 2.5l tin should provide full coverage for approximately 17.5m 2 on non-porous surfaces. Thinner application may affect durability. Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats. Allow the top coat to dry only slightly before pulling off the tape for the same reasons we mentioned above. Adding a colour wash to your walls gives a rustic effect, and can help to hide uneven or damaged plaster. This technique is easy to do and can really give your walls new texture.

Wipe away any wet paint off of the stencil before using it again so you don’t accidentally get any paint smears on the wall. Paint Drips Paint Effects Allow the glaze to partially dry, just enough that it’s not fully wet, but still wet enough to work with, and take a dry brush and run it along the wall so that just the tips of the bristles touch the wall. At lower strengths, Smudge is smoother and softer. This can create gradients, blending shadows and highlights, or smudging pencil drawings. A wide range of stencils are available from DIY and art shops, both in your local area and online, and you’ll also need stencil mount spray, a stencil brush (or stippling brush), and stencil paint. After choosing your colours and painting on your base colour leave it to dry before painting on the glaze.

Take care not to smudge the paint on the wall, and to close all windows and also minimize any draughts which could cause the paint drips to start to veer off course. The stencil spray will hold the template in place for you but still allows you to remove it easily without damaging the previous paintwork. Once you have a rough idea you can start to apply the paint to the wall – regular interior paint works fine, there is no need for a glaze as you do not need extended drying time. Draw rectangles, ellipses, arcs, and pies, all with configurable styles like solid, dashed and dotted.

Mixed Reality: This takes your 3D model from Paint 3D and launches it into the Mixed Reality Viewer application so you can visualize the 3D model in a real world context. You can snap a photo or record a short video of the 3D object interacting with your world to share with friends. Porous, or ‘thirsty’, surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 500ml tin will provide less than 3.5m 2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected. In this project we have explained how to achieve some of the most commly use and dramatic paint effects including: Below we have explained in detailed how to get you do each of these paint effects yourself, but as ever in the decorating and craft world, people are always taking things to new heights and new techniques.Step 3: Using the middle box of the selection area, drag it towards the area that you want to hide. With the help of the other tiny boxes, you can adjust its size and position. Next, dab off excess paint and apply the sponge to the wall, gently dabbing at randomly to avoid creating a repetitive pattern.

Okay, yes, I now have the smudge tool, although I have not yet had a chance to play with it. I think I have installed plugins on a daily basis since I figured out how, courtesy of some of the folks here. For ferrous metal, treat rust, remove any loose or flaking coatings and sand smooth - in these circumstances, we recommend 2 coats of Frenchic Finishing Coat as a base for the paint.

Also known as Mosaic. Always ensure you have enough paint for your whole project. When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting. For this, if you have painted the glaze on in a thin coat you won’t need to keep cleaning your brush, but if it starts to look like you are just moving paint around rather than creating the desired texture, then removing paint build-up from your brush is a good idea.
