To learn and professionally install various techniques in the field of faux painting.

You will be trained on lightweight, durable faux painting sample boards.
Student's samples will be 18 x 24 and are yours to take home.
All of the faux painting techniques taught in this class are explained to give you a thorough understanding of each technique and how to apply them to real world situations. You will learn and receive literature on surface preparation, tool selection, proper base topcoats and choosing the best mediums to complete your finishes. You will learn how to work in and out of corners as well as over your head. Most importantly, you will obtain the confidence to recreate the finishes you learn with consistency every time.
