Class begins with a projected multi-media presentation showing both modern day and historic period faux styled rooms, different faux finishes, and their proper as well as improper uses or application methods.

We will then cover basic color theory, tools, and common simple application methods in an instructor demonstration. All students are then given a scenario which is a mock faux design project. Elements such as cloth samples and tiles are presented as a guide for the room style.

Each student has two hours to go through resource material, painting a faux finish wall and trim sample for the project. Following completion, the instructor gives an evaluation of each faux finish design scenario.

Special note from instructor Brian Bullard: "It's not always the matter of a faux finish, but where to put it. Lack of good "faux finishing design" is the most common error we see in the field today. Hundreds of students of my "Fourday Faux Finishing & Business Course" have been so thrilled with this exercise that we have decided to offer it as a class. No business, no pricing, strictly faux design, no prerequisites.
