How to Glaze a Wall With Golden Highlights

When you apply glaze over your wall paint, you may want to use something more interesting than clear glaze, such as a glaze that contains different pigments or particulates. For example, apply wall glaze that contains golden highlights, which will make your wall appear as if it is covered in a decorative patina.
