Hey, can I please ask did you mix the two colours together or did you do a layer of one colour then a layer of the other? Thank you so much it looks amazing! :)
Hey, grwat video rhanks so mucn for making. In the final stage where you are smoothing wirh the trowel it sounds like you are doing something to the trowel like spraying it with water or something else?
Hi mate, Great video, could you just confirm the paint you were using? Does it need to be of a special finish or thickness? Or if you could direct me in what I should be looking for on Wickes or b&q . Many thanks
Hi, Thanks for watching. I was using Craig & Rose Artisan - onyx and pale elements, you'll find it on their website. Be reasonably generous per coat because you need to form layers and different depths for the concrete look. Hope this helps :)
Hi craig not sure if you will answer this . Im a bit behind since you posted it. Is this the the same paint colour on all 3 coats . I noticed you said its concrete pale elements and also onyx pale elements so im guessing youve done a coat of each colour. ?
Not for stair treads. You have no space to work with and the constant vibration may loosen heavy paint. Try Talavera tiles for color on the rise. It is not concrete, so you cannot use this on treads. Its latex paint mixed with marble dust. Not for outdoors either.
It turned out well, very nicely done. I would turn off the irritating music, and also show the finished wall in more detail. Mention your paint. This is known as Venetian Plaster in the US. Its a technique for achieving an aged patina on a wall or special decorative effects. It is Latex house paint (acrylic not rubber) mixed with slaked limestone or marble dust to thicken it. You can roller brush it on or use a spatula. Let dry. Apply a second contrasting paint sponged over, then sand gently with very 320 or 400 sandpaper to give it a velour finish in the crevices, then use a flat metal trowel to 'polish' the ridges that stick out of the hand plastered texture. This gives a shiny look to the flattened ridges, contrasting with the velvety lower areas. Additionally, the second color gives it depth. E.g. Primary color is yellow ochre, secondary color is burnt orange very lightly dabbed here and there with a sponge for aging effect. The marble dust in the paint gives off a nice polish and texture. The other effects to use are a leaf skeleton, or fish spine skeleton that you press into the fresh paint to get a decorative motif all over. If you do this, limit to a small wall or its too much. You can also use a hand trowel and get a lot of 'movement' in the application. You can apply this to wood, drywall, or any absorbent surface. Cracks can easily be filled in, if they develop from house settling.
Is this the same as Roman clay? I’ve been loving Pure & Original paint for years. Might finally try it this summer. Would love to find a cheaper method. I see videos of people adding joint compound to paint, and I’m wondering if it’s roughly the same thing. Thanks!
@@edgehaven8485 Roman Clay is a specialty paint finish made of natural ingredients. Mix 2 parts joint compound to 1 part paint. It has a much thicker consistency than regular paint with a very slight sheen, especially when left un-sanded. It creates a finish similar to Venetian plaster and resembles natural stone that is usually smooth and soft to the touch. Portola's Roman Clay is an eco-friendly plaster finish ideal for smooth interior walls. Applied using a putty knife, Roman Clay provides a versatile finish able to achieve a wide range of stone, stucco and marble-like effects.
Hi mate, do you remember how you layered the different onyx and pale paint colours? Was onyx the first base, then pale the top layer, etc?@@wwdecorating1305
Appreciate the video but you didn’t mention what kind of paint you used or if your primed and with what or what colours?
The best faux finish look I've seen on here
Great result! Do you have a video for getting this effect on a textured surface?

@@wwdecorating1305 did you mix the two colors or layer them?
@@wwdecorating1305 can you use any grey paint and achieve the same effect?

Is going to look like Venetian plaster?
It IS Venetian plaster.
Hi, amazing technique!!! what is the color of the paint?
Looks nice, what paint did you use ?
Hi, Thank you. I used Craig and Rose concrete. Onyx and pale elements.
Hi mate, do you remember how you layered the different onyx and pale paint colours? Was onyx the first base, then pale the top layer, etc?@@wwdecorating1305
Do you ever seal it after you're finished?
No need.
So why can't you just put a thin base coat on and just do the effect on 2nd coat ? Oh right I got texture on texture , iam so not with it lol
You aren’t describing what kind of paint you’re using.
