Donnalynne Lefever: When you are doing the Strie or dragging on an actual wall surface, you are going to go work ceiling to floor. So, what I recommend is get a towel, and you dip it in the water. You get it all really really wet and then you start from the bottom and you get it, just go over the wall getting it damp. It helps the glaze move just even a little bit more, so that it doesn't stick and then you hate yourself. Anyway, but after you get that done, you will then dip in your glaze and you will start to paint. What you want to do is paint about a foot maybe or so. But you are going to paint it all the way. You will put the glaze on all the way floor to ceiling.

Once you got it on there, then you are going to take your actual dragging brush. You are going to have a rag nearby too, and you are going to start at the top and go down in one continuous motion as straight as possible. Of course, you can get wavy but it's going to be okay. So, then you just keep going, until you have completed that section, leaving about an inch of wet edge on the side. Once you have finished with that wet edge, what you are going to do is you are going to take your towel, you are going to go back in, you are going to go to the next section and you are going to put in on the water all over on that wall again. Then you are going to take -- dip into to your actual glaze this time and then you are going to put in on, try not to go over anything you have done. Only maybe just a little bit. Go the whole way up and down the wall again and then you are going to work your way once more with the dragging brush. That's how you are going to work your whole way around the room and then once, of course you are done, you are done. But anyway, you can clean up your brush. Your brush will get wet. You just rid of it, and that's it for that part.
