  Frottage 
Frottage stems from the French frotter, 
which  means "to rub". This finish looks  
best applied in  rich dark colours over a 
lighter base coat. 



Glaze Recipe 
 2 parts oil paint 
 2 parts oil-based glazing liquid 
 1 part paint thinner, 1 part Kerosin 
 
Tools and Supplies you will 
need for this Project 
Oil semi-gloss paint,  
1- light one for the base and  
1-a darker shade for the glaze 
Oil-based glazing liquid 
Brush 
Roller and paint tray 
3" brush 
Paint thinner 
Roll or sheets of craft paper 
 
 
Step By Step Instructions
 
 
1. BASE COAT: 
Apply two coats of the base colour and let dry 2 to 3 
hours for water base, overnight for oil. (Oil or water-based can be used) 

2. Mix the coloured glaze, and apply it to the wall in sections the size of 
the craft paper, if your using plastic sheeting you can actually to a whole 
wall at a time. 

3. Immediately lay a sheet of craft paper over the wet glaze, and smooth 
it out with your hands. Then remove the paper. The sheets of craft paper 
can be re-used several times but be careful they don't get to saturated 
or you will start getting different effects, because it has a tendentic to 
remove more glaze when you start. That's what is nice about the plastic. 

4. Roll more coloured glaze onto the next section, overlapping the glaze 
onto the edges of the previously glazed area, and repeat step 3. 

5. Without stopping, repeat steps 3 and 4 until 100% of the wall is 
covered. If your using plastic you can get the cheap .04 mill stuff get a 
helper and cover the whole wall at once and work it. 

6. Optional: once the paint is dry, apply a coat of semi-gloss clear coat to add to the richness of this effect.
