Relief stenciling, also known as embossed or raised stenciling, is a great way to create textured wall decor!

In this two-part tutorial we’re highlighting VP Antico tinted with Nature’s Wood Stain to create a sculptural stenciled art piece. Our VP Antico (Venetian Plaster) can be used untinted straight from the container or tinted with a variety of pigment sources.

For this project, we`ll also be using paint overlay and distressing. When tinted and distressed, the contrast of the plaster relief becomes more subdued, resulting in a softer effect.

Scumble is one of our most versatile effect mediums. Two of the most frequently asked questions we get about Scumble are, “what is it and how do I use it?”

Scumble can be used as an extender or a tintable glaze medium!

We thought it would be fun to create a short series of quick how-to videos that highlight different ways to tint Scumble for various effects!

The sample boards have been painted with a matte chalk style paint in a creamy color. We added an applique to each board to showcase how glaze effects can accentuate details.

For each technique, we’re using a 3:1 mixture (3 parts Scumble + 1 part Tint Source).

Our first technique: Tinting with Pigment Powder

Artisan @latina_patina_ crafted this lovely textured finish by creating and layering custom-tinted Fine Stone mixtures. To enhance the dimension, she applied a subtle tinted Scumble glaze effect. The results are so pretty!

Our final tinted Scumble technique is a fan favorite! Tinted Scumble with white paint is great for adding subtle highlights or achieving whitewash paint effects with more control.

Thanks for following along with our tinted Scumble techniques mini-series. Let us know in the comments which is your favorite!
