"Fourday Faux Finishing & Business Class: September 2005"
Another diverse
group successfully completes the faux finishing class which is a condensed
version of the German three year program for certified decorative artists.

Day
Three: Simulation / Scenarios
After an hour
of design instruction on choosing colors and basic design principles, each
student was given objects for a mock room. The project is to come up with
a custom faux finish for the MDF baseboard and wall sample using the fundamental
faux finishing techniques learned in the previous days. Each student has
full access to reference material and can ask for help from the instructor,
just as our "Continued Faux Support Program" works in the field, completing
their work in the two hour deadline. |
