Faux finish is a painting technique using
special brushes or every day materials such as paper, plastic,
sponges or rags. Specific techniques used by Betty's Interior Paint Designs
include ragging, sponging, dragging, stippling, frottage, and
marbling. Faux finishes can be used on almost any surface, from
floors to ceilings, and on furniture, mantels, frames, and other
objects.
Faux Finishes come in all kinds Some look
like natural products, stone, plaster, etc. Some are fantasy
finishes dreamed up by the artist or home owner. They can be as
dramatic or as soft as you would like, often the room dictates the
type of finish.
