Antique Plaster Effects
artSparx has created a 3 stage step-by-step
tutorial series. Series 1 begins with basic plaster
application, our 2nd series illustrates antique glazing
and plaster distressing methods, culminating in the final
fresco simulation series 3, hand-painted elements. You can
complete each tutorial as a finish and style in it's own
right. Or, depending on your interests and style needs,
combine the tutorials to achieve the hand-painted fresco
appearance that will bring your environment to life.

Tuscan Style |
|
Design Style Feature

Tuscan style evolved through layers of
history, taking cues from the earliest Etruscan metal craft and
pottery, and of course, from the sumptuous world of the Italian
Renaissance. In Tuscany one finds frescoes, cracked and worn by
time, still vibrant with original pigment, depicting ancient
deities and the decadence of the late Roman empire.

Masking tip:
Always test
an area to be taped before beginning the masking job. Wallpaper is particularly
susceptible to tearing. Lacquer and varnish surfaces on furniture may come off
easily with the tape and the item could be severely damaged.

Stucco Veneziano
(Venetian
Plaster) - is a
decorative paste
plaster for
interior
applications
that delivers a
highly
decorative,
glossy finish.
It is a natural
formula composed
of organic
ingredients,
calcium, and
acrylic binders,
inspired by the
ornate
plaster-work of
Renaissance
Italy.
Decorative
plaster has a
millennial
history, with
origins dating
back to the Rome
of the Caesars
and in the art
of Ancient
Greece.
|
However, it was
Andrea Palladio, a
famous Italian
architect, who in
the XVI century
re-discovered it
through his studies
and re-proposed it
in the splendid
Venetian villas that
are still to this
day, the
distinguishing mark
of his career.
Stucco Veneziano is
an aesthetic
solution that step
by step, conquered
Venice and Lombardy,
then Italy, and
finally entire
Europe in the XVII
century. Today,
Stucco Veneziano
restores the
splendor of a
classic and
prestigious finish.
