I just had a glaze job on my kitchen walls--long story but it is very streaky. The original glazing medium did not work so the medium that was actually used was Oil base polyurathane mixed with paint thinner and artist oils--colors used were raw and burnt sienna, some alizirin crimson and venetian red.

I intend to paint a mural of a tree on my bathroom walls. It will cover a door and part of one wall, with the branches reaching out across two other walls and across the seiling ( also pine) The walls are unfinished and I really don't want to paint them solidly--I'd like the pine to sort of peak thru.

I have wood stained bedroom set to paint white. I have sanded and when I primed an orange color is bleeding through. Should I reprime before I paint to stop the bleeding, or should I resand and start all over? |
