Strié

Strié is a popular form of faux painting using glaze and paint brushes to create a soft natural striped texture.

The glaze is generally rolled over the entire surface, and then removed with a tool such as a brush.

Strié is a simple technique that can be altered and elaborated in many ways.

It is also very popular to overlap a horizontal and vertical strié, creating the look of fabrics such as linen or denim.

This is often referred to as a linen weave or burlap strié.
