    this faux painting technique is used to produce a faux leather look of shagreen with it's fine pitted circles. Genuine shagreen is leather that has been pressed with small seeds into the soft leather surface to create a pitted effect then it is traditionally dyed pale gray-green. This faux finish is useful on small, flat objects, like jewelry boxes or a table inlay. A white oil-based paint, tinted with a color, is applied and left to dry, then paint the colored glaze onto the object or surface, stippling any visible brush marks. While the faux glaze is wet, spray a fine mist of water over the surface. Lastly, when the object or surface is dry, the object can be varnished, sanded, and a second coat of varnish applied to finish.
