Faux Finishing Brushes
Detailed information about various techniques can be found in perhaps the most widely accepted book by Ina Brosseau Marx, Allen Marx and Robert Marx: “Professional Painted Finishes”, published by Watson-Guptill, New York.
Also participating in an hands-on workshop for example those held by Karl-Heinz Meschbach, “The Faux Meister” may prove to be the best introduction into this diverse subject. Check our links section for more faux finishing info.
