CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

pleased -
This is my second favorite choice for beginners on faux finishing. I read it cover to cover. Very detailed explanations, although the finishes are mediocre.

Over 300 color photos offer plenty of tips on how to work with different types of paint -
Sharon Ross & Else Kinkead's Decorative Painting & Faux Finishes could have been featured in our 'homeowner's helpers' section but deserves mention here for its special attraction to crafters who enjoy working with paint. Over 300 color photos offer plenty of tips on how to work with different types of paint, color schemes, and how to prepare surfaces. Different methods, from ragging to antique and basic stippling and creating a parchment effect using newsprint, are covered in plenty of detail.
