I took some classes at Ron’s shop. That may have proved to be the third best decision of my life. I was able to evolve my painting business into something that I like and absolutely enjoy. I’m not near the master that Ron is but he certainly knows how to give his students the best tools for success. Thanks Ron
Great video! Love the look of this faux paint. I would love to do an accent wall in my house of this exact color. Could you please tell me the exact water based/ acrylic glaze you used and the darker brown color also? Thank you :)
Thank you very much! I totally didn't expect such a speedy reply! Kudos to you for monitoring your page and Kudos x's 2 for the quick reply. I will be eagerly waiting. I also was wondering if there is a way to post pics of my finished project for your critique?
Hi Ron! Thanks so much for this video. It's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I'm turning a particle board entertainment center into something that looks more like a black steamer trunk. Do you have any recommendations for a good paint and glaze combo?
If I want to do this style on a wall, but want some darker areas left.. Is it a matter of allowing that to sit just a bit longer and blend with other areas?
FANTASTIC WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JUST BEAUTIFUL, COUPLE QUESTIONS, IF I MAY, CAN THIS BE DONE ON CABINETS? AND WHAT WAS THE FIRST THIS YOU ROLLED ON THE TISSUE PAPER? REALLY LOVE THE RESULT, ALSO A GREAT VIDEO IN TERMS OF BEEN WELL EXPLAINED, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Hi Ronald I really like to work. I just looking forward to attend one of you classes. I hope you got anything soon. Love you work man really inspiring.
I'm painting the master bedroom with the textured walls. I wanted to do the leather look with glaze, but I am using a flat paint. Will it be okay to use glaze over that??
Thanks for sharing this, Ron ! I'm stARTing a new Faux Finishing business here in Delaware, OH ( just north of Columbus about 1/2 hr or so ) that I'm calling " Faux d' Elegance " & I'm doing some faux finishes in my APARTMENT - ( YA ! LOL ! It's pretty off the hook ! ) . Watching this video just inspired me to try this in a way that I can actually remove later if / when I move out & have to return everything to their BORING / SANITIZED white. If I put the tissue paper on Pink foam board insulation & screw it to the wall & edge it with a cheap, but nice chair rail molding - I can remove it later & take it with me to my next location & nobody need worry about the permanence of what I've done & * I * get to enjoy an elegant home decor that would otherwise be strictly forbidden ! VIVA L' ELEGANCE !
Hi can you tell me if this will cover imperfections in the walls that just painting does not cover? Our walls have many many patches done to them. Thank you.
Mr. Layman, I have watched all of you videos, and I really enjoy them. However, I have not seen to do an example of faux multi color slate. Could you do one? slate comes in so many beautiful colors and combinations, and is a material widely used in home decor. Thank you so much for the tutorials.
@@RonaldLayman Did you ever post that video? I looked around your videos but couldn't find it. Maybe I missed it and you could point me in the right direction? Really enjoying watching your videos!
Good clear instructions. Im wondering if I can use the granite chalk paint I already have? I realize the wax application would need to be some what light as to not tear the new "leather" or would I get a more genuine finish with regular paint with a mat finish?
You can use any color or just abut any paint, wax will work just fine. I've often waxed this finish for a different look and the wax creates a soft luster that polyurethane can produce.
If I used a gold color with the tissue, do you think it would look more of a tuscany look, opposed to leather? I am looking to create a textured finish, opposed to just the look you did with just glaze.
Hey Ronald. This may be an odd question, but can you think of a way to apply this is plastics? I'm making a custom figure and I need the paint to have a leather look, and I wasn't sure if this technique would apply or not. Thanks!
Is the finished surface flat enough to use for a kitchen counter top? How many layers of clear polymer finish do you advise for such a use? Thank you Susan
If you want it smooth it would take as many coats as you like until it's smooth. I'll post a video this week showing a similar look with no texture that will work better for a counter top.
Please, someone, anyone. Please tell me the brand and name of the glaze used and where I can find it. I want to do this to my walls but it doesn't help when you can find the antique glaze and how to mix it to make it work. Thank you to anyone in advance.

Thank you For the kind words, that’s very nice of you. I’m glad to hear you’re doing so well.
Amazing technique. Love it. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!
I’m thinking I can use this technique on furniture too. Exciting!
Wow! Great effect...good solution for old plaster walls!
Love, Love, Love!
Watched awesome and creative work..Beautiful

excellent tutorial, quite supportive to me. I appreciate you Faux School
Ron could I get away trying this on surface of tile? Sure might address major lippage on subway tiled backsplash

I have been wanting to use latex paint this way, I have gallons of leftover paint.

I have a wall that started.. Painted first coat now need to finish with final color and glaze.. What is the ratio glaze to paint for final coat?
Did you read the instructions on the can? Every manufacturer is slightly different, go with the instructions
Awesome tutorial. I’m going try it.

It will help mask imperfections, just feather sand the edges of the repairs and sand repairs lightly.

Hi,sure as long as you prime the plastic with a good primer, I would use a shellac based prime BIN from the Zinnsser corp is good
Great video...thanks!

Ron what is the best way to REMOVE this type of wall finish?
I’ll be making a posting a video Monday about sample boards with links
hey ron,like ur work i wanted to know an average price per square foot for this type of work
This finish would no less then 4.00 a square foot
so if i want to do a black leather wall what colors do I use for base and glaze?
so how had would it be to take the paper off the wall if I decide to sell my home
Designs By Sher what a mess that would be
at 2:42 what is that? Paint? Glaze? Before you put the paper on the wall... ;)
Judi Christopher its sherwin Williams, cashmere (product) eggshell (sheen)
Hi Ron, how do I know how much darker my glaze color should be from my wall color
I usually go 4 -5 shades darker then the base color
Cool....very cool
Please, someone, anyone. Please tell me the brand and name of the glaze used and where I can find it. I want to do this to my walls but it doesn't help when you can find the antique glaze and how to mix it to make it work. Thank you to anyone in advance.
