A brush is pulled through a wet glaze or paint , producing fine blurry stripes of of the base coat color showing through and creates an effect of soft graduated lines on the wall.

Stand at different angles in front of the wall or adjust the intensity that shines on the surface, and you'll see the two different shades at varying points- almost like an iridescent effect.
