Faux Painting

A large block of faux marble painting adds interest in a hallway.

Faux painting involves using paint to mimic or suggest other generally more expensive materials.

This kind of painting has a history that goes back centuries to when artisans used pigments in some kind of binder to create various effects, such as walls "covered" in semi precious stone.

A blue green glaze strie over an existing tan wall updates and coordinates with the new curtains.

It is an ideal way to to cover your walls. Faux painting can be silk taffeta, grass cloth, linen corduroy, bricks, stone, leather, marble, tortoise shell, exotic woods and precious metals.

And the list doesn't stop there. You can create fantasy finishes that have never been seen in nature but look like they should.

Of course, you are not limited to your walls; cornice moldings, furnitiure floors and ceilings can all be enhanced with various techniques.

With simple supplies cast concrete or plastic garden decor can look like sculted marble and stone.

The supplies can be very simple -- paint, glaze, a sponge or two and a brush. But don't let their simplicity fool you. In the hands of an expert the results are amazing.
