From the Inside Flap
ok to cover virtually every paint technique and every conceivable surface: walls, floors, wood furniture, and even upholstered fabrics and metalwork from a hot new designer. The book's 35 projects provide beautiful results and are also accessible to those with a less-than-practiced hand. 200 full-color photographs.
From Booklist
Though the U.S. version of this British title comes a tardy six years after its original publication, it is nonetheless a welcome companion to the oeuvre of Jocasta Innes. The first two chapters--on space and color and on inspiration--set the stage perfectly as motivational tools to beginning and experienced painters alike. A few of the more unusual techniques, such as cissing (slashing pots of paint thinner onto wet oil paints to produce a mottled antique effect) and tortoiseshelling, appear in the catalog of decorative paint ideas; otherwise, the methods shown are fairly routine, from sponging and stippling to marbling and trompe l'oeil. Most appealing are the brilliant, illustrative color photographs. Twenty projects demonstrate the range of Carter's artistry; not for the timid, they range from a faux fur interior (think leopard spots) to a color burst of a hallway with wall stars and a faux mosaic floor. Complicated directions are somewhat enhanced by illustrations of the most difficult steps. Instead of depending on actual patterns, enjoy this for ideas and inspiration. Barbara Jacobs
