Faux Painting: Totally Plastered

Faux Painting: Totally Plastered
I love getting Blitzed - Juice Up - and Totally Plastered---- on Venetian Plaster that is!
Just to clarify, Venetian plaster is general term and the looks range from highly polished and reflective to jagged and rugged. True, a plaster can take some time, but the results are so worth it. I’m thrilled that today there is such a wide range of plasters available for artists to create faux finishes. I spend time creating samples for my clients and most weekends can be found “concocting” some new-fangled idea that has popped into my head. More than once I have heard a product rep ask, “You want to do what”?

It’s always super exciting when a client is ready to plunge into uncharted territory of a new concept for plaster.  The projects below were created for some delightful fun clients and had my artist heart doing hand springs of joy



Walking into the Art:
A hallway formally just used as a passage from garage to main living area is now an exciting transition. The idea sprung from the home-owners artwork. Several shades of plaster were troweled, sanded, tinted, pounded, and brushed to recreate the background full scale onto the hallway walls. Now it feels as if you’ve walked directly into the painting.







Everything old is new:
You may remember this entry from the Urban Decay collection http://swanstudiosinc.blogspot.com/2016/02/faux-painting-urban-decay-new-shabby.html  Luster Stone was used to help create the look of crumbling walls with a sleek tarnished silver reveal:



Sculpting went grand scale on this dining room wall when the home-owner’s art sculpture was re-created into a 14 ft. x 10 ft. version:




Of course, we always want to pay homage to the past. In this case, extreme past as in the fossil age:
