202-F Deciphering FinishesNext Class: Fall 2008$350.00Class description
Have you ever wondered, "How did they do that?" In spite of the way it feels, every decorative painter and plasterer can solve that mystery. The overall objective of this one-day course is to enable you to decipher and identify mediums, techniques, and tools used in decorative finishes. This will give you the skills to mimic not only finishes but replicate things found in the environment, i.e. wood, marble, stone, aged walls, etc… You will be able to translate these techniques and apply them to wall surfaces. Plenty of hands-on exercises help you refine your deciphering skills. Using a unique worksheet developed by Andre' Martinez you will open the door to the ability to copy anything.
