About this title

Synopsis

Understand the who, what, and why of painting and decorating—and how to do it well.

This classic reference explains the purpose of painting, the distinction between paint and decoration, and how aesthetics meet function in real-world projects. It also covers practical topics like tools, materials, workshop setup, and the day-to-day realities of the trade.

The guide takes you through the processes a decorator encounters, from choosing schemes to managing stock, and it highlights the importance of knowledge, training, and continued study. It touches on safe, responsible practice and the value of combining technical skill with good aesthetic judgment in delivering durable, attractive results.

• Learn the functions of paint and decoration and how they complement preservation and cleanliness.
• Explore brushes, brushes care, and the testing and use of materials across different jobs.
• See how wall coverings, papers, and wall hangings are selected, prepared, and applied.
• Get practical tips on shop management, workflow, and handling common decorating challenges.

Ideal for students, apprentices, and professionals who want a solid, hands-on foundation in painters’ and decorators’ work, this edition offers structured guidance and cross‑cutting insights for everyday practice.
