Faux Painting
This is a painting techique that can create the impression of a myriad of materials such as wood, stone, leather or fabric or it can be used to recreate historical decorative patterns such as diamonds or stripes.
Murals
This use of pictoral painting can expand the dimensions of a room and be reailistic, as in trompe l'oeil, or fanciful.
Glazing
The application of a thin, translucent film of color over a base coat of paint to create a rich, dimensional hue.
Stains
Color applied as a stain soaks in to the medium rather than adheriing to the top of it. Stains allow the natural grain of wood to show through.
Washes
A paint wash creates a result similar to a watercolor painting. Color pigment is diluted with water as it is applied, giving the painted area more depth and variation than a solidly painted surface.
