Exterior decorating is all the rage and Outdoor Painting Techniques & Faux Finishes is a practical and inspirational guide to weatherproof paint effects that can enhance your exterior home. This book is perfect for both the curious newcomer and the more practiced decorator who want to extend his or her range of decorative painting skills.
The book features a variety of effects for five basic outdoor surfaces: plaster, cement, wood, metal and stone. The effects range from lime-washing on wood to a moss effect on stone to faux tiles on cement. The effects are arranged by project - for walls, floors, windows, garden furniture and planters - and detailed with step-by-step photographic instructions.
Basic techniques, materials and equipment, as well as surface preparation are all included. The authors, both professional decorative painters, share the tricks of their trade and demonstrate challenging techniques with the same clarity as basic skills. Whether the reader has a small apartment balcony or an expansive backyard garden, the painting techniques offered in this contemporary book can be adapted to fit their personal decorating style.
