Oak Graining Technique - Step by Step 1. Prime the surface 2. Apply basecoat Apply two coats of satin finish enamel from the family of yellow-golds. 3. Graining Mixture When the base coat is dry, combine the ingredients of the thin gouache mixture. Gouache is watercolor artist pigment that dries to a very matte finish and can be re-wet and reworked. 4. Under Graining Apply mixture with a #28 filbert brush. Quickly "flog" the wet surface by slapping the long bristle repeatedly against the surface. Repeat for each width of the brush and continue until the gouache is so dry that it no longer takes an impression. 5. Overgraining Use a sable duck writer to individually draw in the darker growth rings. 6. Check Rolling Roll the check roller along the surface in the direction of the grain. Simultaneously press a 2" brush with gouache on top of the wheels as you move it. Before liquid dries, soften the pores with a badger blender brush. 7. Blend & Glazing Use a clean #28 or #30 filbert brush to apply the glaze thinly and evenly over the gouache. 8. Combing Drag a medium-toothed rubber or steel comb firmly through the glaze. 9. Apply clear coat Allow 24-48 hours drying time before applying and clear protective finishes. Pro Faux Gouache Mixture:
