One of the most versatile and decorative materials available for use in Faux Finishing is plaster. This material is one of the oldest decorative mediums known to man. Chris is a master applicator of all types of plaster. Traditional lime based Venetian and Marmorino plasters have been utilized in many of Chris-the- Painter's projects. These time honored materials lend themselves to contemporary settings surprisingly well. And for those of you that must have white walls, a plaster finish can add new life and elegance to a once ordinary setting.
Other exciting developments in the world of plasters include acrylic modifiers and resins which add greatly to the durability of a plaster finish and help it to avoid cracking. Metallic plasters are also widely used nowadays and they impart a glow and sophistication to any space that is difficult to achieve with any other material. The results are always impressive.
Plasters can also be used to add texture depth and complexity to a finish. In the hands of a master Faux Artist, plasters can create an ambiance that will have owners and guests alike exclaiming "Wow!" as they look at and feel your walls in disbelief. If these mediums are good enough for all of the great landmark buildings of Europe and the world, wouldn't they look great in your home as well? All of the finishes on this page have utilized one or more types of plasters. Imagine the Possibilities!
