Decorative Arts & Faux Finish Techniques
Faux Finish is a decorative painting technique that literally means ‘Fake Finish’ and was originally used to manipulate the finish of stucco and plaster materials. Even though it was used for thousands of years , from cave painting to ancient Egypt, it developed as a decorative art form during the Neo Classical periods as artists imitated marble and wood finishes. As wall paper fell out of fashion, people turned to the techniques of Faux painting to achieve these decorative finishes in their homes and businesses.
Popularity of these techniques continues as an artistic, eco-friendly and socially conscious way to achieve the depth and ambiance of leathers, marbles and exotic woods.
