"We're covering the basic principals of  faux finishing products & how to  integrate them in faux finishing,  not just selling you on one brand name!

"Faux finishing products & glazes" have become a major trend in the industry. Developed only 15 years ago, "faux finishing" glazes are now available over the counter, on the internet, and some are offered only through "proprietary" classes (you have to pay for and take the class to learn and buy the product). Regardless of the brand or name (Behr, Sherwin-Williams, Ralph Lauren, etc), they all have one thing in common: an acrylic or latex base with extenders added to stay "wetter" or "open" longer.

In this class you will learn the fundamentals of working with any "faux glazing product", be it over the shelf or proprietary products, all major brand names will be discussed. Beyond learning the fundamentals of mixing, application, and manipulation of faux finishing glazes, you will paint the most commonly requested and fundamental faux finishes (images at right).

Included is our "Surface Prep" instruction so you know if, when and how to basecoat properly with the correct paint and sheen, as well as how to prepare any surface for painting.

Cost: this is the first day of the "Faux Product Faux Finishing & Business", total is $1400
