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.

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,
encaustic, glossy
finish. This is
a natural, easy
to use, Venetian
Plaster.
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.

Getting
Started...
Stucco
Veneziano can
be applied
many of
different
ways. Here, we
demonstrate a
traditional,
highly
polished, 3
coat trowel
and spatula
application.
Assuming the
wall has been
properly
prepared,
Stucco
Veneziano can
be applied
over many
types of
surfaces. Here
it is applied
on drywall
over a base of
Acrylic
Fixative
and
Quartz Primer.
Preparation
Ideal conditions for
applying Stucco
Veneziano are
interior walls with
smooth surfaces.
Mandatory for a
long-lasting
guarantee, a thin
coat of
Acrylic
Fixative
is always necessary.
Secondly, for a fine
and smooth surface
that promotes higher
spreading rates and
absorption, a coat
of Quartz Paint
Primer, diluted up
to 25% by volume, is
suggested for a high
quality application.
Application over
standard PVA primers
will not cause
problems; however,
applying Stucco
Veneziano over a
mineral surface has
proven to have a few
advantages. For more
information on
advanced preparation
techniques and
preparing alternate
surfaces such as
cement, wood, or
even metal, refer to
the
advanced preparation
tutorial.
 |
Step
1.
Apply a medium
size amount of
Veneziano to the
edge of a
stainless steel
trowel using a
mixing knife. If
you are right
handed, apply
the plaster to
the right side
of the trowel,
if left handed,
apply product on
the left. Begin
to apply a first
coat over a
smooth and
primed surface. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
2.
When applying
the first coat,
a trowel or
spatula may be
used. Remember,
larger trowels
cover larger
areas. However,
smaller spatulas
and smaller
trowels are
often used and
may decrease
stress in the
chest, arms, and
back. It is
extremely
important to
apply the first
coat as thin as
possible. In a
room temperature
environment,
Stucco Veneziano's open
time ranges from
approximately
15-30 minutes. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
3.
Using long and
swift motions
create a smooth
and even first
layer of
Veneziano. Try
to create a
level and
uniform 1st
coat. If white
from the primer
still transpires
through the
first coat, its
okay. The second
and third coats
will completely
cover these
areas.
|
|
|
|
 |
Step
4.
Notice the
effects created
after only one
coat of natural
Stucco Veneziano.
In some
situations,
polishing only
one coat of
Veneziano may
provide a
desirable
effect. You may
even tint the
base coat of
Quartz Paint in
order to
perfectly
conceal the
surface after
only one coat. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
5.
Once the surface
is dry, you may
begin adding the
second coat.
Wait at least 1
hour for the
first coat to
completely dry.
Before applying
a second coat,
scrape off any
excess or dried
product. Make
sure the surface
is completely
smooth and ready
for a second
coat. |

|
 |
Step
6.
Repeat the
procedure
demonstrated in
Figures 1-3.
Alternating to a
smaller spatula
or hand spatula
during the
second coat may
add more
encaustic depth
to the finish,
however, for
this
application,
two, thin base
coats are
applied without
pattern. While
adding the
second and third
coats, it is
important to
work with a
clean trowel.
Having a bucket
of warm water
nearby may
lessen the
chances of
creating
unwanted
scratches in the
surface. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
7.
After the second
coat, allow 1-2
hours for the
surface to dry.
Once dry, a
light sanding
with 600 grade
sandpaper in a
circular motion
may be a good
idea, however
not necessary on
all occasions.
Before applying
the finishing
coat, scrape the
surface again as
shown in figure
5. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
8.
The final coat
is often applied
with a 8-12 cm
spatula or small
trowel,
depending on the
desired final
effect.
Typically, busy
patterns are
created with
smaller tools,
while larger and
less encaustic
patterns are
created with
trowels and
larger
plastering
knives. Begin to
work 3-4 square
foot segments of
the surface,
connecting each
subsequent patch
moving from
either the top
left or bottom
left of the
wall, moving
clockwise, or
visa versa.
|
|
|
|
 |
Step
9.
To create your
encaustic
patterns, use a
stainless steel
tool and move
about in
cross-hatching
or figure 8
patterns, gently
applying
product, then
quickly removing
it. Similar to
the movements of
traditional
patching or
taping, the
final effects of
Traditional
Stucco Veneziano
are random yet
uniform in size.
Skip troweling
by keeping the
trowel or
spatula at a 10°
angle and
lightly
feathering the
stucco onto the
surface is easy
to achieve
during this
phase. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
10.
For larger
encaustic
patterns, a
stainless steel
float or rounded
plastering
trowel should be
used. Using a
thorough and
consistent
method of
application,
spread a thin
and final layer
using an 's'
motion, a
cross-hatch, or
skip trowel
movement. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
11.
Once the wall is
completely
dried, use a 600
grit sandpaper
to lightly sand
the surface.
Sanding in a
circular motion
blends the
layers of Stucco
and brings the
underlying
layers to the
surface. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
12.
Once lightly
sanded, you may
wipe down the
surface with a
cotton or cheese
cloth rag. At
this point, a
fair level of
sheen may
already appear. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
13.
Using a
stainless steel
blade, begin to
polish the
surface using a
downward or
horizontal
movement.
Keeping the
trowel at a low
angle will
prevent surface
scratching. If
waxing the final
surface, added
sheen can be
achieved without
burnishing. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
14.
Remember to make
sure the surface
is completely
dry before
polishing.
Burnishing with
a clean and dry
tool is also
important. Using
a steady and
consistent force
while burnishing
will help to
create a
homogenous
finish. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
15.
A final coat of
Wax for Plaster
may be applied
for added gloss
and protection.
If applying Wax
for Plaster,
allow 1-2 weeks
for the product
to settle before
applying it. Not
waiting may
cause unwanted
streaking on the
final surface.
Waxing is not
necessary for
creating
polished
Venetian
Plasters,
however,
recommended in
areas exposed to
continuous
moisture.
