Faux finishing is a technique that has been passed down from
Ancient Egypt and made famous by European Masters to
recreate expensive architectural elements such as marble,
wood, stone and gold guilding at a fraction of the cost of using
the actual material.
Today, faux finishing uses paint to create a variety of textures
and patterns and can be used to enhance art niches, columns
and other architectural elements or add color and drama to any
space.
Some examples of what faux finishing can be used for:
Faux marble, stone, brick, granite, wood
Venetian Plaster (old world Italian aged plaster)
Faux Leather & Suede
Frescos (aged appearance without added texture)
Embossed and negative relief prints
Postive and negative textural techniques (ie: ragging,
sponging, etc)
Elephant hide & more!
