Decorative Painting Techniques: Whisper Painting [Paperback]

Suzy Eaton (Author)

Book Description

Series: Decorative Painting Techniques | Publication Date: September 1, 2007

Whisper Painting is a popular style that’s soft, subtle, and easy to do, and with these ample photos as a guide, anyone can give plain walls, furniture, and home accessories beautifully understated decorative finishes. The projects showcase 30 different techniques, and start with such simple, unintimidating processes as tracing, découpaging, ragging, and dragging. Add texture to a mantelpiece with dimensional paint; antique a brand-new mirror so that it looks like a Renaissance work of art; and reproduce an aged stone wall. Introductory sections provide paint and color basics, and each project is labeled with one, two, or three paintbrushes according to difficulty.

I was disappointed in this book. The cover was better than what was inside. I expected some new techniques, but it was the same stuff as other books. I donated it to the local library.

This book was so helpful. It shows how easy it can be to make my white walls have depth. Simple step-by-step guidelines that you can fallow or throw in some from other projects in the book. It was a great find.
