After selecting a faux painter, Denver owners could choose a fabulous strie colorwash for a bathroom, kitchen or any other room in their homes. It is a colorwash because it uses paint thinned with glaze to create the paint effect, which is very subtle yet beautiful stripes or streaks. The stripes can be created in a vertical or horizontal pattern, depending on the look you would like. The strie technique can even be used to create the effect of fabric's warp and weft. written by Susan Slobac
When looking for an experienced faux painter, Denver residents will want to ask about the artist's professional training.

Another spot in your home that you might not have considered painting are columns. Columns are often used as decorative elements within the home, and they make perfect subjects for the application of faux painting effects. Take a wooden or plaster column, and transform its look to marble for a fraction of the cost of real marble with a professional faux painter. Denver homeowners can consult with an artist to see if this type of effect is the best choice for their particular columns. written by Susan Slobac
Other forms of Denver faux painting that you might see used are rag painting, whereby bunched-up rags are dipped in glaze and are pressed against the surface to be painted. Trompe l'oeil is the name of the method used when an artist paints a mural on a wall, and it offers depth or some other way of fooling the eye. Sometimes pictures of open windows or doorways are painted, giving the appearance that the door leads somewhere or the window shows a view that has a real appearance but has actually been painted.

After a consultation for custom home faux painting, Denver owners can next expect to receive an estimate for the work to be done. After this meets with everyone's approval and deposits are paid, then the work can begin. It starts with prep work, which could include taping off or applying plasters and other products to the surface to be painted. If the space to be painted is large, you might expect to see several assistants work with the painter to finish your project on time. written by Robert Parker
