We just completed a dinning room in a soft one pass glaze and the ceiling was done in
what we call a watermark faux. It's sometimes referred to as a Tea Stain. The whole room was painted in a jakarta color. Then the walls were glazed with a mushroom colored tint. We added just a touch more yellow to it to warm it up. The ceiling had the same colored glaze minus the extra added yellow and it was done in a watermark fashion. Photos of this type of faux make the veins stand out allot harsher than they are in person. We usually recommend this type of faux when large areas are to be done. It's the most bang for the buck. It's beautiful and yet only requires the one pass of glaze. Glaze, for those new to faux, is a translucent type of product that can be tinted to achieve the desired color. Since it doesn't fully cover the paint or other glazes beneath it so you get a layered effect. The water based product also dries to a hard cover of what is underneath. This helps in cleaning. We will sometimes use a clear glaze to a specific area just to protect it.
