We saw this book on sale at a mall kiosk bookstore. Annie Sloan’s The Complete Book of Painting Techniques for the Home: a step-by-step guide to mastering painting techniques for the home. A loaded book, full of info and illustrations best suited for those home owners who would want to go out and paint their world other the whites & flat latex finishes. Home wall painting techniques for the daring, I must say.

The painting techniques can also be applied to furniture, and so maybe, someday, you’ll see Leoque furniture having these kind of textured or weathered finishes like ragged, sponged, grainy, etc. The book is by Annie Sloan, only P600 or so. NFS BTW.

From Publishers Weekly. This carefully written, richly illustrated book is a splendid choice for home painters ready to move beyond the flat latex-covered wall. Muralists/designers Sloan and Gwynn tell us how to apply transparent glazes over a base colorand then some: merely break a glaze with your brush, they promise, and evocatively textured surfaces will come to light. (A helpful chart rates the suitability of 22 paint techniques to each of 16 underlying materials.) Twelve basic finishessponged, ragged, combedare described in step-by-step photographs. The reader is also treated to 20 bravura finishes that imitate nature’s minerals, wood grains, tortoise shell, moire and gold. A rather daunting chapter gives advice on how to decorate doors and dados, ceilings and cornices, windows and stairs, but the authors’ instructions on making printed patterns on the wall (using wooden blocks, vegetables, etc., dipped in paint) and designing, cutting and applying a stencil make painting fun even for beginners. Throughout, Sloan and Gwynn tell us what we should do and what we shouldn’t before it’s too late. And the proof of the painting is to be seen here on every page, splashed with color.

Product Description. Exquisite, full-color, complete guide to decorative painting. Learn gilding, stenciling, mural and furniture painting techniques in the tradition of the greatest artisans in history. Practical, step-by-step ways to transform one’s home. Hundreds of full-color photographs. 8 3/8″ x 11 1/2″.
