Fabric Surface Guide

• For canvases and artwork: 250ml Sample Pot of limewash paint should suffice, as very little paint is needed.
  
• For larger photographic backdrops: 1 litre should be enough to cover approximately 10 square meters.

Apply 2 coats of Bauwerk Limewash Paint

• Dip your brush into the paint and flick off the excess. The brush can hold a lot of paint, but should not be dripping.
• If painting a larger expanse like a backdrop: start in a corner–holding the brush at a right angle to the fabric. It may be best to hold the brush on the brush body, rather than the handle for more control.
• Using loose, free strokes stretch the paint as far as possible, varying the direction of strokes constantly. Let the bristles do the work. There is no need to apply too much pressure.
• Brush out the paint evenly in a thin coat, preventing runs or drips, while covering every part of the surface in the first coat. Maintain a wet edge at all times to prevent lines in your finished surface. Finish each coat in one continuous application. Do not try and patch walls once the coat is finished, as missed areas can be covered in the next coat.
• When wet, the colour will appear darker and transparent. Do not compensate for this by applying more paint. As the paint dries, the colour will lighten to the chosen colour and become more opaque.
• Apply the second coat more loosely and quickly, wet-in-wet. Don’t worry if you miss small areas—the first coat provides coverage. Let dry fully.
