What happens here

Once the Venetian plaster on the main tiles has progressed and is drying, the presenter begins applying metallic glazes to the decorative square tiles. He uses a soft-bristle Stalmeister brush with the 'Griffin' metallic paint. The technique involves applying the paint with random, varied brush strokes to prevent a uniform appearance and to achieve a rich, metallic, and distressed look. He explains that applying all strokes in one direction would not create the desired metallic effect.

Goal: The presenter applies the 'Griffin' metallic glaze to the decorative square tiles using a soft-bristle brush, creating random, non-uniform strokes for a metallic effect.
