Today, we are more aware of interiors than ever before. We have grown tired of plain solid, colour surfaces and are ready for sophisticated and unique ways to decorative our homes. Decorative painting was for long the province of professionals who kept their “trade secrets”, such as paint formulas, application techniques and material sources, to themselves. But now, thanks to tried and tested recipes and simple application techniques, it has become much easier to learn and master these age-old methods of creating unique living environments.
Creating your own finish is lots of fun and tremendously rewarding, whether it is an exciting technique on walls, giving dull furniture a new lease on life or adding style and colour to interior or exterior spaces. It is also a viable alternative to what would be a costly affair if you appointed a professional decorative painter.
By following the step-by-step instructions and illustrations on instructional DVDs, you will discover and master many trade secrets that make the decorative painting process easier. By combining these with a bit of patience, practice and trust in your own creative talents, you will achieve a variety of splendid results.
We urge students to conform to safety measures as advised in our manuals.
