Tonight about 11pm I had 8 chairs and 5 tables to get some sort of paint on. The cast did a base coat earlier in the day and I needed to come up with some sort of worn texture look. I was tired after 12 hours in the theater and feeling lazy. I looked over at my work bench and saw a spray bottle and a rag... hmmm. I got my rag damp. I diluted my paint down a little so it sprayed nicely, set the nozzle on fine mist. Hit the chairs with the mist then loosely and irregularly wiped the paint off with the rag. Not too much, just enough to leave some wonderful texture and streaks. Took me a half hour to do texture on 13 pieces of furniture. I even went back with a darker color and did some "butt wear" on the seats of the chairs.
This got me thinking. What are your favorite quick scenic paint and texture ideas.
