Faux Finishing for the first time

By Rhonda Rainey

Book Overview

This volume is designed to inspire and encourage those people who want to try the technique of faux finishing, but fear they have no artistic ability. The techniques are shown step-by-step on practice boards, and are arranged in order of difficulty, so that the reader can choose the project that best suits their level of ability. Projects progress from imitating the appearance of suede to blending colours by stippling. The text is laid out in a simple question and answer format and includes a gallery of the work of artists and designers.
