"So now after you have finished the base coat coverage you let that dry for approximately 4 hours. You next step is the creating the actual Bellagio faux and let me pick up the joint compound and the trawl that I talked about earlier. Here is the combination of the color and the joint compound and get it the texture should be like a cake mixed batter and get that all mixed together in creating your color. What I do is I start off with a skin coat of the mixture and I start creating a pattern and that is criss crosses. Very easy nice and easy. It is great therapy and then what I usually do is take off the access paint and just go back to it feather it lightly, blend it all in and you create all these textures. The more you go back to it the more the depth comes out on your wall and that is your second step. "
