<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know what the correct term would be, but it looks as if the decorator took a brush fairly well loaded with the paint and tapped it against the edges, with a downward (or upward - but moving perpendicularly to the edges) motion,
three or four times for each “stripe”, maybe dragging it a bit to spread the color - the tapping would result in a little spatter - it’s neither sprinkled nor stained, and only partially spattered. Perhaps an artist would have a more precise or descriptive
term for the technique.<u></u><u></u></p>
