The Art of Faux by Pierre Finkelstein
This sourcebook of decorative painted finishes covers paint, mediums, and their usage, the decorative painter's colour palette, varnishes, brushes, and tools, and surface preparation and clean-up procedures. In addition, Finkelstein presents the history of the two schools of decorative painting: the French-English school of trompe l'oeil precision and the more freely drawn, expressionistic Italian school. More than 60 recipes are outlined for a range of decorative surfaces. Each recipe includes a detailed drawing of the pattern, photographs showing the work in progress, and the hand and brush strokes used. Among the surfaces discussed are marble, wood, semi-precious stone, sandstone, glazes and patinas, ceramic, leather, art deco inlays, and faux mouldings.| SKU | Unavailable |
