a twist of texture

Swirl

Swirl texture is another hand texture created with a comb or even sometimes with a brush. Like fan texture, it features circular strokes. A key difference though is that instead of tightly overlapping the circles in fan texture, swirl texture lets the beauty of the curves shine. Whether full circles are prominently arrayed, or the strokes are a bit more chaotic, swirl texture can add a sense of movement and flow to a room. This texture can be jazzed up by adding sand to the mud mixture to create the popular, and aptly named, sand swirl texture.
