5.0 out of 5 stars
Useful information about natural, ancient techniques,
This review is from: Applied Artistry: A Complete Guide to Decorative Finishes for Your Home (Hardcover)
Ms. Innes' quest for the origins of many of the finishes and techniques that have been in use since ancient times has resulted in an excellent resource for design professionals and decorative artists alike. The recipes for such esoteric materials as gesso, limewash and marmorino make this book worth the price. I have not found another book to compare with it. The projects are not for the faint of heart but are acheivable and are useful in grasping the fundamentals of each of the techniques.

I must say the techniques that WERE given in this book were well done, but half of the book is historical with photographs and there was definitely a lack of actual techniques.
