" We have a very yellow master bedroom and you're going to tone it down and change it around when we talk first about what -- expect as a base well."

" We work -- of this sample boards. And the base is done in this. Caller is oil based finish there are three coats on it now and it's it's a finish coat I mean you could be fine with room like this what we're gonna do is apply. Three licensed. Different variables with the yellow glaze on top and just work the Senate's that we get all of our life complicated paint scheme in order to get this effect."

" Now he's an oil based is it preferable to start off with -- oil based."

" Pain as -- background on the I think it is I mean an oil finish has really hasn't nice -- Tenet it's very terrible."

" Let's compassion. And then the blazes themselves do today. Dry out right away --"

" The glaze -- give -- a little bit of time to work while. You're probably talking to a wall like this and that made me. Three hours -- fasten. I just -- test here and already starting to pull back a little bit I'm not having as much you know -- polemic way not along you know."

" The test that you're doing seems a little bit less green than than this like again."

" A great idea to test there was one there. Maybe just a little bit darker. So I came down here and up at a little bit more converts and the glaze -- they've also been attacked in two places. Because the room has different qualities of light and if you've tested Yeltsin gave -- pallets and we throughout like did you have to worry but."

" Having that sample. Look right with the rest of the what would you do it."

" Well actually we're gonna do -- on the white this down so that we don't run into an -- this is just to drive to work -- against its continuous arm wrench to get get -- that if this is what you want and this is what would approve the work from this and I'll take it down before we'll start going to take you down again."

" And the only thing I would say is. When we actually ragged I'd like to see it a little bit softer look okay."

" I would have been announced -- it's just take place right off. -- Once it dries it's going to be. Sad you know move the -- and we've got probably 24 hours before totally -- and then about a week before it's totally Karen."

" Let me take credit sample off where -- you work now. OK so that this is also glades. And it just definitely role is not going to help him having to thank you."

" So when I'm gonna do is. Apply the first planes. And you prefer to start on the left hand corners are -- reasons yeah I'm right handed and it just seems like you're nodding your own way. So what I usually do is start from the upper left hand corner and then work my way across the law. So the bottom right OK so I've got what I'm calling sort of the -- glaze. On it now going to brush in three different pigments are all places as well as sort of call and a yellowish green. -- a little bit more rumors."

" He kind of in random yes you really want to I just thinking about. Moving across the wild."

" Just giving us sort of -- this is what makes it fun because you're you're gonna have done you're kind of being erratic and creative. And."

" Applying it without any real. Pattern and mine right yeah exactly I think what you want to try to avoid this any kind of pattern it pattern -- because you want to look natural."

" Can to a business and how many great -- out by rolling out some of the base list."

" That have the grades today I think some really good idea if you're gonna peanuts split the labor wouldn't and each person very specific tasks and com. And even now it's not that complicated technique everyone has a different hand. You know we try to -- the -- until law. It's gonna just read a little bit different with his person so splitting the task is a good idea so I noticed that you roll it on relatively thin. That the best thing to -- now. We're going to really work the blazes and self."

" The letter of application. The better and it's. Once I got -- sort of fond I've worked in other places. And taking that ran in -- going to sort of basically counts. Into the -- up audience -- want a lot of texture so what I've done as a kind of soften the grant made a little you know. So there aren't too many holes in it exactly so it if you have fewer poles and it. Then you have softer effect yeah let me say when I tighten it up a do over here hasn't been -- read it. This -- what we're trying to avoid a parallel worse crimes and just seems to leave a lot more rat mark. Which is great if that's your looking for just like and it's soft -- panel that. We're just. We're looking for more of -- parchment."

" Now -- get a -- handed rushed out of -- it rots if you didn't. Got this person can't -- Nothing you want to do is we -- that roller marks the spot and they can take care of those process going to start having lines throughout the space."

" So you want to go all the way across the single hybrid you want to do whole wall section at a time you kind of want to work OK Bob I mean you -- sort of be."

" Brushing into different areas at the same time moving across system than an error here doesn't work this and then I'm going to jump over here you've got the magic I don't."
