Hi
painter friends!
As
a Scenic Artist, I have done a lot of faux finishing. A practice commonplace
to decorative painters and scenic artists a like, faux finishing is a term used
to describe any paint finish created to replicate another surface or material.
Artists build various layers of color and texture to produce the illusion of
wood, marble, stone and many other surfaces.
Oils,
acrylics, stains, and specialty paints are all mediums that can be applied in
faux finishing. A variety of tools can be employed to achieve the desired
effect. Rags, wood grain rockers, feathers, sea sponges, rollers, and of course
brushes, are just a few of the tools that can be used. These tools combined
with paints of varying opacities, colors, and consistencies can fool the eye
into thinking it is seeing something different from what is actually
there!
Dynasty

decorative painting needs.
Our
Flat Finger Grainers, Flat Grainers Extra Long, and Flat Wave are perfect for creating
