The faux clinic went well. We decided to go ahead and get some paint and a piece of sheetrock to practice.
First we primed and painted the base coat.
Then we tried 3 different options for faux painting.
The first is called ragging off. You paint the glaze on and the dab it off with a rag. This is our favorite.

The second is similar to ragging off except you use a plastic bag instead of a rag. I think it is more consistent than the first one, but we like the look of the first one better.
The third one we tried making the glaze darker and then did the ragging off technique. I think it looks ok, but we like the lighter one better.
Overall, I was very surprised at how easy it was. I think we need more practice at making it more consistent and less blotchy in areas, but I think that will come with practice. I would like to start with something small like at bathroom before we try to tackle a living room.
