Description:The many and varied effects of faux finishing lend lively visual texture to all sorts of surfaces. If you're looking to give these ever-popular techniques a try but don't feel up to tackling entire walls, applying them to home accessories and furnishings is a smart alternative. As Rhonda Rainey shows in Faux Finishing for the First Time, most of these methods are simple to achieve on the relatively small scale of candleholders, vases, lamps, boxes, and frames, or even on the larger surfaces of tabletops, bureaus, and other paintables. Rainey introduces the basics of tools, supplies, and surface preparation, then--following the question-and-answer format of the First Time book series--explains 16 basic and 8 more advanced techniques, including combing, crackling, sponging, stippling, vinegar painting, gilding, tortoiseshell, wood graining, and distressing. Many of the projects are a bit on the dull side, but the decent directions and generally easy methods make this a reasonable choice for beginners. An attractive photo gallery of rooms by several artists demonstrates the medium's vast possibilities in the hands of the masters. --Amy HandyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
