Finding El Dorado

Finding El Dorado
For hundreds of years treasure hunters and archaeologists have trekked through the jungles of Colombia on a quest to discover the lost city of gold, El Dorado. We found it! Right here in beautiful Southwest Florida. Actually, it’s a stunning Colombian inspired faux finish wall in golden yellow. My client comes from the tropical lush country of Colombia and wanted to celebrate the vibrant painted walls of her city. Walls that are enjoyed for showing their years of age and crumbling decay. A faux artist’s dream.

The wall is painted in a vibrant golden yellow and then troweled with textured plasters. I used Aqua stone and O’Villa. The O’Villa has a gentle grit to it yet glides smoothly. Glazes were in brown and just a slight touch orange spice for aging. The result is Eureka! We struck gold!
