People always think faux finishes are quiet easy but there are some chances of having mistakes while doing it. Especially when you paint, you have more chances of committing a mistake. First and foremost thing that you have to focus on is to have a very good surface. Only a good surface gives you very good results.
Always use very good quality paint and brushes. Trying to save money in this will give a very bad faux finish. Do not think that your job ends once you complete the finishing touches. There is still more to do. You have to use a water based sealer to seal the wall which will help in giving a great look. Try to read the label of the paint you are purchasing. This is very important to know whether the paint has oil in itself. Very common mistake that people do is in choosing a right climate. Always opt for dry season instead of wet ones.
