Faux Painting Techniques
Faux painting or Faux finishing are both terms used to describe a wide range of decorative and artistic faux painting techniques and textures. From the French word for “fake,” faux painting began as a form of replicating materials such as marble and wood with paint. Its use later expanded to encompass many other decorative paint finishes for walls and furniture. In modern day faux painting, the two major materials/processes used in decorative and faux painting are Glaze and Plaster.
Glaze work is a common faux painting method. It is smooth to the touch and yet often mimics an attractive texture. It involves using a translucent mixture of paint and glaze applied with a brush, roller, rag, or sponge. This can create a marbleized look, a wood-grain finish, a sandstone look, or just about any effect you can imagine – The sky is the limited with decorative paint in glaze.
Plaster is another common method of faux or decorative painting. We may use tinted plasters, or wash over the surface using earthen pigments. It is generally applied with a trowel or spatula. The finished result can have a textured feel. The faux painting methods and variations of finishes are nearly unlimited.
