Faux Finishes

  Faux Finishing is the art of creating painted illusions on wall and furniture surfaces.  By layering the paint, glaze and texture applications and using various tools, a wide variety of special effects can be achieved by an experienced artist.  Visit our faux finishes section to learn more.

Samples

  Stone, brick, tortoiseshell, distressed  leather, suede, elephant hide, metal patinas and aged plaster are just few samples. See our faux finish samples. The possibilities are quite endless.

Trompe L'oeil

 

  Trompe L'oeil is the style of painting which creates the illusion of being three dimensional.  Murals & artwork containing Trompe L'oeil are very realistic, although realism is not always necessary to achieve the effect.

Samples

  See stencil samples that can be implemented on walls, ceilings, floors and furniture. See how Trompe L'oeil illusions, such as wall niche, fountain or window, can be created with shading and shadowing techniques.
