Product Information

This easy guide will show you how to create a variety of exciting surface effects for your entire home using the basic methods so popular today -- sponging, ragging, stippling, color washing, spattering, dragging, stenciling, marbling, and wood graining.The straightforward format ofRecipes for Surfacesgives you the tools to transform any aspect of your home with paint. More affordable than wallpaper, more personalized than solid-colored opaque paint, these painting techniques -- once the closely guarded secrets of painting professionals -- are not limited to walls, ceilings, or floors, but can be used on moldings, doors, and furniture as well -- as accents or to try out effects on smaller subjects.

And, as your skill and confidence grow,Recipes for Surfaceswill show you how to move beyond the basics with exciting and unique variations.Recipes for Surfacesis organized for practical use, with clear concise explanations and full-color illustrations.

Helpful color charts supplement the discussion of how to mix and match colors for your taste and needs.The second part of the book illustrates many painting techniques. Each of over 40 recipes can be followed independently and is rated accorded to difficulty from easy to more complex. The recipe itself includes a list of paints and other materials needed, tips on surfaces best suited to the technique, and painting advice -- all in a simple-to-read chart right on the page.
