This technique can be done using White Decorative Clay Plaster, Light Sand 13, or even Brown Decorative Clay Plaster if you want more intense colors.

There are several ways to achieve this effect, so here are the possible methods:

MIX PREPARATION

The clay plaster should be thicker than for single-color plastering; otherwise, the wave pattern you create may “flow” downward.
It is best to add 0.5–1 L less water than the minimum amount indicated on the package.
If it becomes too difficult to apply the plaster to the wall, you can later thin the mixture slightly.

FIRST LAYER APPLICATION OPTIONS

  • Smoothly trowel the first layer and let it dry;

  • Smoothly trowel the first layer and create the waves already in the first layer;

  • Apply the plaster with a roller designed for applying putty, smooth the surface with a brush, and if desired, create waves in the first layer as well.

SECOND LAYER APPLICATION OPTIONS

  • Smoothly trowel the second layer and create the wave pattern;

  • Apply the plaster with a roller, smooth the surface with a brush, and form the wave pattern.

OUR FAVORITE METHOD

  1. The first layer is troweled smoothly.

  2. The second layer is applied with a putty roller, the surface is smoothed with a brush, and then the wave pattern is formed.

Why this method?
Because applying the second layer with a roller does not flatten the surface — the waves come out more varied in size and look much more organic and lively.

SMOOTHING THE SURFACE WITH A BRUSH

After applying the plaster with a roller, the surface should be smoothed by pressing the brush more firmly so that the roller texture disappears completely.

FORMING THE WAVE PATTERN

When forming the waves, do the opposite — do not press the brush.
Imagine gently tickling someone’s feet with a feather :)
If you press too hard, the waves will disappear and you will see only brush bristle marks.

Waves are easier to create with a semi-dry or completely dry brush.
You may use the same brush for smoothing before forming the waves, just make sure not to rinse it with water.

FINISHING THE PATTERN

When the wave pattern becomes matte, the water has absorbed, and the waves have slightly firmed up, gently glide over the entire wall with a slightly damp brush, held horizontally.
Do not press too strongly at first — make sure the waves do not collapse, especially if the pattern is larger.

This step is optional, but without it, the waves may look a little rough or uneven.
A damp brush beautifully unifies the entire surface.

VARNISHING THE FINISH

Clay plaster walls can be left natural or varnished with the durable water-based Mr. Clay Varnish No. 1.

That’s it! As simple as one-two-three. Good luck working on your walls!
