Beautiful technique and finished look, and he is very beautiful too.
To be honest I loved the first coat.
thank you so much, best and simplest tutorial or that technique!!! i did it in 2 walls and its looking pretty awesome. Trust the process i did :D
Thanks so much for the great feedback !! So thrilled you love it.
This video helped me so much! Very happy with the result!
Very, very useful and relatable - I now feel confident enough to try it on one or two walls 👌👍
Great to hear!
Would've been nice to have a couple more seconds to see the finished colour at the end 🤷♂️
Hi there, yes you are right, we were beginners at videography when we made this one
right???
That's why we have the pause button.
@@charleseliason4694 Yeah, but I kinda wanted close-ups plus a few different camera angles of the finished product?
simplesmente fantastico !! I loved it!
Thank you very much!
Truly beautiful.
Thank you
i would change the level of tint or the color with every coat to achieve more texture, but he makes it look easy, so good video on technique.
thanks for your feedback
Was thinking the same thing -- how it looks when part is wet and part is dry is amazing
Great video, thank you for sharing those tips 🙏🏽😊
Thank you
I love the texture at 6:00
Beautiful
Great narration voice
Hi, I'm interested in how you would apply this technique in a small area, ie around windows, between door frames etc, because the technique uses quite broad strokes. Im hoping to use your product in my bathroom but there are a few finicky corners etc
We have smaller brushes to apply around windows etc,
Gentle easy but firm strokes
Thanks !!
LOVE❤
I love the finished effect, but I did get distracted by the fact he had no shoes on.
Haha, its the Australian way
bauwerkcolour : I’m going to try it, it looks very comfortable and I hate wearing shoes in the house.
I actually paint barefoot as often as I can lol not only is it super comfortable but if I drip and step in it I know immediately and don't track it
Just applied two coats of the Cucumber color to my wall. There are some dark patches where I did some touch ups (probably because I was using the end of the can of paint where there were more minerals built up). Is there a way to sand down dark spots?
Hi Matthew, not really recommended to sand down areas, best would be to email me an image and then I can give my best advice sales@bauwerkcolour.com
if a change is wanted can claypaints be painted on top of old limewash, or would it need scrubbing off first?
As a second question can limewash be left on a surface without proper adhesion if it wont ever be wiped (I'm thinking of ceilings)?
Hi Bauwerk Limewash can be used on all correctly prepared ceilings and walls, it will not wipe off. If using Claypaint over Limewash, you need to ask the manufacturer of the Clay Paint, how it will go
Thx! If I roll on the first coat, will that detract noticeably from the pattern? Would save me some time doing a whole room + ceiling.
We recommend applying our limewash paint with a brush only. BAUWERK limewash brushes are made with natural fibers that have serrated, saw-like bristles, that allow for faster application and better spread of the limewash paint.
love the video!! I am totally going to paint my room with this method!. do I need some kind of special paint or a special brush for this method? or any paint with any brush is good?
Thank you !!! You do need to use our limewash paint prep coat and brush to achieve this look - all available on our website www.bauwerkcolour.com
I did this with simple paint, dont get worried. Works fine just using the technique
Hi, so I'm my country I cannot get your paint and brush, any advice on what to look for on my local paint shop? What type of paint and brush to achieve this finish?
Hi. I applied 2 coats of the "storm" clour over a hard wearing white emulsion I painted last week. I waited 4 hours between coats but the corners of the window reveals look like they need touching up.
I told the customer I would be back in 3 days to apply a 3rd coat. Shall I paint it a 3rd time or just feather out the paint? Will touch ups look obvious?
Hi there, it may be better to email us for specific information with images, you could try lightly feathering out, but this sometimes looks obvious
Hi! Love your tutorial! I am thinking of limewashing a roll of canvas for a photography backdrop. Is this something that limewash is suited for?
It is perfect on canvas backdrops !!! Best if the canvas is unprimed, but can be used either way, just apply limewash direct x
lovely
Thank you so much for this! My walls already have some light texture on them--would limewash still look nice over that?
For sure !!!
Loved this! Hoping to do it in my living room wall, which is currently painted purple. Can a white Bauwerk paint go over dark walls or would you advise some kind of treatment first?
I would recommend correctly preparing your walls -
Step 1. We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
Step 2. Apply 1 coat of BAUWERK PREP COAT
Step 3. Apply 2 coats BAUWERK LIMEWASH
You can skip Step 1 if the wall is already perfectly primed and without patches and repairs
@@bauwerkcolour what if the wall is textured?
@@wispergeorge3406 it depends on the condition, if it is standard and in good condition should be fine, for specific advice email us sales@bauwerkcolour.com
Hey it looked good after the 1st coat but then you just made it more solid so by the 3rd coat it was just solid paint not limewash effect?
It is Limewash, it depends on the colour and technique as to how opaque it looks- you can always stop at 1 coat of you like it
Do i need to plaster the wall first if it already has some texture?
That is optional - pie can usually paint over textured walls, email us for specific answers sales@bauwerkcolour.com
where can I get a brush like this
Excelente trabajo.
Que pintura usas, al aceite o al agua?
Gracias . es pintura de lavado de cal :)
BEAUTIFUL! i am looking for two-tone version of this. i think im just going to use two brushes and try do do the same thing..
Go for it!
Did you end up doing it?
@@td8383yes i did, turned out great, but i did latte colors. pretty bright, so the contrast is weaker.
What color (or colors) and technique did you use to paint the walls in the studio in the background? They look amazing! Thanks!
Thank you, it is actually history, they are really old walls over 100 years old and many old layers of Limewash paint
Is this type of paint need to be mixed someway or does the paint already come ready to apply to the wall
The paint comes ready to apply
How do you use limewash with a color of paint from a company such as Benjamin Moore? Do you apply a coat of your favorite color over an acrylic primer, and then transparent limewash over that?
If your wall is already painted or are made of gyprock / drywall / plasterboard or plaster. It is very important that your walls are correctly primed, as Limewash and Prep Coat will not mask what is on your wall, for example, inconsistent materials like the join lines of where the plasterboards meets, or any fillers or patches that are on the wall - to ensure that no ghosting of these inconsistencies comes through to your final finish.
Step 1. First apply 2 coats of a good quality water based drywall / plasterboard / gyprock primer, to ensure an even absorbency across the wall surface.
Step 2. Apply 1 coat of our BAUWERK Prep Coat by roller, especially formulated to make limewashing easier and more durable on previously painted walls.
Step 3. Apply Limewash by brush 2-3 coats, however you like it best. We find 2 coats is usually enough.
Do I need BAUWERK Prep Coat?
We have especially developed our Prep Coat as a bridge coat between standard paint and primers to make limewash more durable, and easy to apply. BAUWERK Prep Coat is not a primer. It is important to understand that BAUWERK Limewash and Prep Coat have no capacity to mask what is on your wall, it allows all the history and the materials of the wall to come through.

What kind of paint is being used?? Acrylic, latex, enamel, oil based, water based? This is important to know
Would have been nice to know what kind of paint is used, brush type, surface type and prep.
Hi Greg,
The paint used is limewash colour 'Jupiter'.
The brush is an absorbent bristle brush.
The surface is gyprock drywall.
The preparation for a brand new drywall is 2 coats of Acrylic Sealer, 1 coat of Bauwerk Prep Coat, 2 coats of Bauwerk Limewash.
Is this possible to do straight over an internal painted brick wall ?
Yes, it I super easy to paint over a brick wall,
Not of the brick wall is already painted. You need to remove the paint first.
I’m doing this on orange peel textured walls and I feel like I get 3 brush strokes before I run out of paint.
Hi , check if its an absorbent surface - if its an absorbent surface you may want to wet the surface before painting to minimise the absorbency .
This will help to maximise your spread rate . Have a look at our Painting Render video :)
Hello. Do you seal it with something after
Not usually needed
Hi, just want to ask are you using normal paint or ready made effect paint?
This is 100% natural limewash paint. The effect is by brushing the paint on your wall with a brush.
I currently have green walls and I’m thinking of painting all the walls white and then do lime wash on top. Will this work?
Yes this will work, this is our recommended prep
Step 1. We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
Step 2. Apply 1 coat of BAUWERK PREP COAT
Step 3. Apply 2 coats BAUWERK LIMEWASH
Note- You can skip Step 1. If your walls are already correctly primed and without patches and repairs
@@bauwerkcolour thank you! I really appreciate your advice
What techniques can be used to thin it out in places after application, between layers, to create more texture? Similar to how inks and watercolor can be thinned by adding water or alcohol.
paint thinner
It isnt paint so I would not recommend thinner
Great video! Could i use this product directly on the newly gypsum plastered walls?
Yes you can ....If your wall is already painted or are made of gyprock / drywall / plasterboard or plaster. It is very important that your walls are correctly primed, as Limewash and Prep Coat will not mask what is on your wall, for example, inconsistent materials like the join lines, may ghost through the final finish
Newly plastered walls can be very absorbent. That can make it a little tricky if you want to achieve a consistent appearance.
To achieve a uniform finish on raw plaster we recommend sealing the surface to ensure a consistent finish (stop the ghosting of micro cracks and to help minimise the absorbency)
Step 1. We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
Step 2. Apply 1 coat of BAUWERK PREP COAT
Step 3. Apply 2 coats BAUWERK LIMEWASH
Note- You can skip Step 1. If your walls are already correctly primed and without patches and repairs

@@bauwerkcolour Thank you! this is a great explanation. I feel I understand how it would work with the plastered wall.
However, if i also wanted to use it on one of my pre-painted walls (which is blue), would i need to cover it in white first, then apply the mentioned steps 2 and 3 already
@@dorothy574 yes usually - if the wall is in perfect condition then perhaps you can just use the Prep Coat
Thank you for the tutorial. I would recommend you wear shoes, however. It'll make you more effective and prevent serious injury. :)
Hello,
Just about to buy paint for 2 rooms but not sure which size. Which size are you using here, please?
Thanks!
We are using 4 litres in this pic, we have a calculator on our site when you are ordering
@@bauwerkcolour sorry, I meant what size brush are you using. Thanks!
@@natalieofosu ah ok, 4 x14 wood brush
He’s the Bob Ross of limewash paint
He is pretty good !!!!
Hi,
Can this be used on MDF?
If so what primers etc.
Thanks
Our limewash is only suited to MDF for decorative purposes - if use you must use in conjunction with Bauwerk Prep Coat
Do I need to wait some minutes between the coats?
Yes, we recommend leaving Bauwerk Prep Coat to dry overnight and Bauwerk Limewash allow 3-4 hours in-between coats making sure it is dry before applying another coat.
Can I do 3 coats? I have limewash in black but I don’t like the second coat.
Hi there, yes you can, but it depends on why you dont like the current finish the more coats of Black you apply the lighter the wall can become, if yu would like to email us an image we can help with advice
@@bauwerkcolour I just used a brush that I don’t really like and found the second coat to be streaky. That only happened on one wall. I like the others that I used a different brush for.
@@xotennisxgirlox Ah, ok, then try for another coat, make sure you dont over apply - i.e dont apply to much paint make sure you stretch it out all the way - leave 1 week before doing the third coat when using a very dark colour
How does this product hold up in high humid tropical climates?
Really well as it is naturally anti bacterial
I have limewash paint in my laundry room. I now want to paint with regular paint. How do I go about doing that? Is there a specific type of primer to use or a particular way to clean it off? Thanks!
If it is Bauwerk Limewash, the you can paint over it, no need for a specific primer, but it is always good to ask the new paint manufacturer what they recommend, if it is another brand of limewash, the answer may be different , as other limewashes can be more reactive than ours
Is the paint a special paint? Or it can be done with regular paint?
Hi arturopez2292,
The Bauwerk Standard Cloud application method is used best with Bauwerk Limewash paint.
Can you use limewash over a wall that is already painted? (Drywall btw)

Thanks. What product are you using?
Bauwerk Colour LImewash
Could you please tell me what is the specific name of the paint.
BAUWERK Colour Limewash Colour Name Juniper
I am having a hard time finding the color Juniper in a lime wash paint. Where did you find yours?
Hi Ashley,
You can find Juniper here www.bauwerkcolour.com/product/juniper-limewash-paint-colour
The technic name is "lime wash" to apply on the wall?
How bout the texture, is it smooth texture or rough texture?
Hi, yes this is limewashing
I just finished my first coat and there is nothing gentle or easy about it 😅the paint doesn't stretch that far and it's exhausting, taking ages back and forth to work out the brush strokes from the paint, which if you don't you can see in subsequent layers. I hope it turns out ok, my husband has made me promise not to ask for it in any other rooms 😂
Would adding water make it a lighter colour
Adding water is definitely something we do not recommend, and will not lighten the colour. Certain colours however do come in lighter versions. Feel free to contact us if you wish any colour advise.
Can you use different colors at the same time?
Hi Damariz,
You can use 2 colours. The first coat in 1 colour and the second coat in another. This can give more texture to your wall with the 2 layers.
why did you end the video before the 3rd coat was dry which also allowed no time to study the wall
No good answer to that -perhaps we ran out of film, sorry we missed that out x Sorry
@@bauwerkcolour tx!
Can you do this to a textured wall?
yes easily
I have brick paneling in my living room that i cant get take down because the previous owner put it up with liquid nail glue . Can i you this technique on the walls?
Do you need a specific type of paint for this technique?
Hi there, yes this is our limewash, available at www.bauwerkcolour.com we ship to most countries
What color of paint do you used?
The colour used is "JUNIPER "
What is the colour you using?
Juniper
Is possible in India ?
We certainly do freight to India. We are happy to provide you with a quote once we establish the quantities you require and have a delivery address, via emailing us at info@bauwerk.com.au
I wanna purchase paint from this company but they only ship in america and Europe
I liked it much better after the second coat but not three
was too many
Imho
It took away from the texture for me
And also I think that you weren’t stretching the paint on the second or third coat like you should have as you did in the first coat
All in all I think it’s beautiful and it looks to me like you’re in a house that actually is covered with plaster and I am living in a very old home right now that was built in the 1950s I believe
If you knock on these walls they’re solid as a rock very dense and I’m almost positive that it was done with faster because you can even see the trail marks but they look like little sunrises and I don’t love that so I think that this paint technique is perfect because after all you’re kind of after the plaster work and that’s the whole point of doing the lime wash but also it protects the walls
wonder what you think about the finishing technique if there is some thing that others are doing To seal this finish which I imagine if you tried anything it would change the coloring on it might actually deep in it which may be desired and then again maybe not
2 coats is usually enough, yes a sealer will darken the colour. Sealer or protective coats do contain a lot of chemicals that we try to avoid, often change the appearance and do get damaged regardless. i.e once a wall is sealed it becomes harder to repair.
A better solution is to use the lime wash paint and when desired apply another quick coat across the affected area. Usually that would be done to the nearest corner, but if you have high walls it may also be an option to simply paint out the affected area and feather it out to a random height (not a definite line). Lime wash has its own perfectly ‘’Imperfect’’ look, and in painting it out will add to the character and patinated look. Usually only one coat is applied at a time and that takes only a few minutes.
The paint dries quickly and is fume and smell free,
@@bauwerkcolour Well everything that you said is actually one of the reasons why I really love it
I love the texture and the depth
but also that patina
it’s very old world charm
it’s soothing and warm to the soul
I was thinking more along the lines of using a wax to seal it and I know that that would deep in the color and in a lot of cases from some of the videos I watched I think it would probably make it look better
it would give it a little bit of washability
although wax could attract dust and dirt
so that might not be a good idea
however
there are water-based sealer‘s that might be a viable option because these finishes actually turn to stone
if I’m not mistaken so they’re really good for walls that are in older homes with plaster
I was just in a home for a few months with a friend and the walls really need a facelift you can see the trail marks from the plastering it looks like little rainbows all over the rooms even the ceilings
I didn’t love that and I was hoping to Nas get some by refinishing the walls for him and restoring the wood floors which are original to the house and I believe the house is like a 1950s build
When he was 17 he joined the Navy and went out to live in Italy for three years so I thought that would be really good to feed his soul forever a time were things were more simple and joyous
Unfortunately I had to cut my trip short and return to where I am again
But I fell in love with this option and it’s definitely something I will be personally using in a space of my own in the near future
Years ago painter/decorators offered this as part of their standard work, If you asked a painter/ decorator today to do this they would decline the job, Why? because they only want to do a job once charge three times the price and paint with a roller not a hog brush and have it all dried and done in a day! Sad. Using the right brush the technique actually produces a really nice soft texture much nicer than a synthetic brush or roller. Producing glazers for walls can also be stunning but unfortunately finding someone that does this now is harder to find and is a real specialist job.
Hi J H,
We do have a few recommended painters - where are you situated?
The videos are there to help guide painters as well as DIY clients on how to apply our product.
My diy lime wash is chalking
That is because making Limewash is not as simple as you think, It may take time for this to stop or buy a litre from us, and paint 1 coat over the top, as our lime has been aged and made in a way to stop this chalking
@@bauwerkcolour I am in Lagos Nigeria, I decided to try diy lime wash because I couldn't get your product in our market.
Is there any way you could help?
@@ayorindeisraelbamidele3585 Sorry we are not sending to Nigeria, however you may find trying to paint a very thin layer wil help a little
@@bauwerkcolour Okay.
I will try it all over again
Too bad, shipping to the US is outrageous. But love the product
Yes it is currently very sorry about the price, that is what it actually costs, hope to one day have a store in the US
There is no other color for lime wash
Yes there is a company in Laguna Beach called Jh wall paint this company has over 91 colors
This came out looking like you just slapped some paint on a wall. Oh wait, that is what you did.
I don't mind limewash in colors like this, but honestly when it's a color like cream or taupe or beige it just looks like cigarette smoke stains
Ah ok, I guess everyone has their own idea of how things look, and wether they like them or not !!!
