Boring Faux Finishes, even for beginners,
By Sonya "readaholic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Faux Finishing for the First Time (Hardcover)
I've done a lot of painting, but not faux painting. Some of the projects were interesting and different, but many looked so obviously fake I cringed. I did give the book some stars for general instructions and the projects that seemed interesting. Unfortunately, there were only a few projects that caught my eye and I even found looking through the book was boring. The photography in the book is good and the instructions seem clear for the few projects I liked.The few interesting projects: ~ covering an objects with cement (like garden furniture or in the project, a gargoyle) ~ get the look of bronze using paint ~ applying gilding leaf This book would be an okay edition for a beginner if you buy it used. |
