Draw the cracks onto the wall with a pencil to create the cracked design that you want to achieve with the faux painting technique.

2
Paint over the pencil lines carefully with burnt umber craft paint using a small craft paintbrush. This will represent the depth of the cracks in the wall. The dark color of the burnt umber will show through the crackled wall finish.

3
Allow the burnt umber craft paint to dry until it is tacky. Brush crackle medium over the burnt umber lines with the small craft paintbrush. Allow the crackle medium to become dry to the touch.
