Calendar of faux finish training classes at Dundean Studios

Textures & Metallics III:

- Part 3 of the Modern Masters™ Certification Program

 

Learn advanced techniques of color blending and layering with ShimmerStone; the satin, metallic plaster.

Using Modern Masters' deep tint base Venetian plaster, students learn correct application and material control techniques to acheive beautiful decorative plaster finishes in soft to deep hues.

Using Texture Effects, an acrylic, plaster-like material that is very user-friendly, we will imitate"Old World" effects and aging of walls. Wonderful for creating an ambiance in any room or kitchen.

We will also

learn how to color-wash with low VOC Theme Paints to create environmentally-friendly finishes.

In this class, we will learn how to blend, intermix and layer all of these materials for an unlimited array of finishes and decoration.

This class is for working professionals and there are no pre-requisites as most of the materials are not used in other classes. These are high-end finishes and faux finishes that can be tweaked many ways for custom work.

Synthetic plasters make dimensional techniques like ornamental plastering, embedded leaves, ancient retro walls, venetian plaster cascade are also incorporated into this class. You will be given the keys to color and techniques that will save you months of experimentation. Faux finishes are good but expand your expertise and go beyond faux and include high-end decorative finishing as well.

Faux painting and faux finish techniques have become synonomous so I must use them as such for search engine optimization. My apologies. Faux painting is not a phrase I like very much because I do not consider myself to be a "fake" painter. I am a real painter who can paint realistically. I will hold my nose and use the phrases faux painting and faux painter down here where it will not be so irritating.
