What happens here

After applying the dark glaze, use a crinkled plastic bag to dab the still-wet surface. This technique helps to eliminate brush marks and create a random, textured pattern. The presenter clarifies that this is not a 'smearing' motion but rather an intentional lifting and pressing with the bag's crisp edges to create distinct textures. He also mentions that if too much paint is applied, he can go back with the base color to darken it up, which actually benefits the effect by adding more layers.

Goal: Create a textured, non-uniform finish on the dark glaze layer.

What they say

Hide

that the brush marks to disappear and the color underneath the juices start peeking through what it boils down to with our base layer down and little bits of the paint underneath peeking through it's now time to add our custom color which becomes our second layer and this is where we let the layering begin now this turned out to be way more white than what I wanted so I've got absolutely no problem going back to my base color and darkening it up and that's actually gonna make all of the other colors kind of peek through which is what we want for this effect all right so I've got the base look down now this is where the full flow trawl comes in this will start to give it that translucent now one thing to point out I'm not smearing I'm not taking that bag and just running it across the wall I'm actually intentionally lifting it up and down to make sure that the crisp edges of the bag are coming through in a pattern below everything together to make the colors seem like they're fading although I'm using a lot of different colors I'm not letting them all goo into one indistinct mess I'm making sure that I'm layering and keeping each layer separate which is a little bit tricky but you can see how I'm more white my upper cabinets I don't wanna mile I don't want to get this all just one two mish-mosh I want the colors to play you know hide-and-seek but I want to add a little bit more Brown on the top bagging it because what that will do that will then actually add so at any point whenever I screw up it's easy enough just to go back to adding more colors and it actually benefits the overall paint scheme because it adds more layers and deepens the effect it's kind of a win-win my bad let's fix it we gonna fix it one of my rules is you don't move on to come back to a problem
