How to create overlapping geometric shapes on a wall
In short: This video demonstrates how to use tape and metallic glazes to create an accent wall featuring overlapping squares and rectangles.
The technique involves using tape to define geometric shapes, such as squares, rectangles, or even circles and triangles. To prevent paint or metallic glaze from bleeding under the edges, it is essential to ensure the tape is well pressed down.
By using a metallic glaze, such as copper, you can create a layered effect where the color is translucent, allowing the base layer—like a silvery or pearly base—to show through. You can also use standard paint colors instead of glazes. For a clean finish, the tape can be removed while the glaze is still wet.
