- Lighten the original base coat blue slighty and splodge it on.
-
- whilst it is still wet add more white or cream to the light blue paint , wet your brush and put that on top. blending as you go
-
- Lighten paint still further, adding a tiny amount to surface of the previous layer, again wet brush, and blend in the other layers keeping surface fairly wet, until you are happy with mottled result!

- This is an optional stage, you could just use a gloss varnish, or leave it just painted. What we have done, as previously mentioned is add a thin layer of Liquitex acrylic Gloss Gel Medium.*
*In its wet state this is a white paste, put a thin layer on using something like a wooden lolly stick as a small spatula, spread it around and make ripple effects with the stick, when you have with the effect, leave to dry, this normal takes 24 hours, it will dry to a clear finish.
There are plenty of tutuorials available online (Youtube) to show you how this is done.
The picture shows the Gel after it has dried.
