About this title

Synopsis

This is a collection of decorative paint effect techniques, including stencilling, gilding, marbling, sponging and spattering, which can be used to decorate a wide range of surfaces, such as china, fabric, wood and paper. The book includes 30 step-by-step projects, and details on equipment.

From Booklist

A brief introduction places decorative painting techniques in a historical context and offers information on color theory. The painted effects illustrated here include sponged, marbled, rag-rolled, stippled, and stenciled walls, and faux tortoiseshell and malachite surfaces on furniture and other objects--with step-by-step instructions for mastering each technique. All these decorative devices are included in a portfolio featuring colorful examples of decorating styles that achieve visual interest and ambience by way of uniquely painted interiors and furnishings. Written in a chatty, familiar style, this manual can be considered a basic sourcebook, containing tips on preparation, systematic advice, and sufficient information on tools, paint products, and glaze recipes to undertake a variety of projects.
