What happens here

Using a paint brush, apply the base paint color (brown) to the wall. This layer will provide the underlying tone for your finish. Once this layer is applied, let it dry completely. Then, using a fresh paint brush or sponge, dab or lightly brush the custom-mixed white paint (white paint mixed with Floetrol) onto the dried base coat. The goal is not to cover the base coat entirely but to create a mottled, marbled, or leather-like texture with varying degrees of translucency and white highlights.

Goal: Create the faux marble/leather effect by layering paint colors.
