From the rear cover
Grain painting, the decorative art of imitating the grain in wood, was popular among American colonists in the 18th and 19th centuries. Graining with paint offered an economical way to visually transform modest materials-such as pine, poplar and maple-to simulate expensive hardwoods. What began as simple imitation evolved over time into a delightful and expressive folk art.
False Graining Techniques provides a practical introduction to a unique American craft. With this book, you can try your hand-literally-at making beautiful designs with such tools as corncobs, rubber combs, foam brushes, and even your own fingers! The authors provide all of the information you need to get started, with handy tips on tools, materials, and techniques.
Six easy projects show how to transform plain surfaces into textured and stylized veneers. Step-by-step photos cover all the details necessary to achieve artistic painting effects. A colorful gallery of finished pieces will inspire you with some outstanding modern variations of these innovative methods.
Inside False Graining Techniques you'll discover:
- How to add a unique visual richness to any surface
- 6 simple but stunning projects, from picture frames to boxes
- Beautiful and easy-to-learn grain painting techniques
- Step-by-step instructions and photographs
