Looking for Early Signs of Paint Failure  

Saves Money!

 

House painting is commonly looked upon as a once-in-many-years event, which often translates as follows: wait until everything looks bad and then do it over. There is a better and cheaper way!

The problem with this conventional approach is that, by the time your house looks like it really needs a paint job, other serious problems may have developed that will require expensive carpentry repairs, the replacement of windows or doors and, sometime, the repair of interior damage caused by an exterior issue.

Using Faux Painting to Disguise What is Too Evident

 

The word "faux" means "false" in French and faux painting consists of an array of tools, techniques and materials used by painters to make painted surfaces appear to be made of something they are not. The techniques of faux painting have been developed over millennia of human history. Over time, the driving force behind the development of faux finishing has been the cost of the real materials or their unavailability/scarcity at that point in time. People resorted to paints to replicate nature's master touch. Click here for more detail.

 

  

 

Can you Replicate the Look of my Artwork on the Adjacent Walls?

 

One day, a client showed me a painting in his master bath. It was about six feet long and five feet high. The painting revealed the naked body of a woman frolicking in the water. The painting had a gray band at the top and bottom and a large band of vibrant aqua, mottled with gray and cream tones to give the feel of water. The client's request was: "Can you replicate the colors and feel of the painting around the room, as if the painting bursts out of its frame?" After taking a closer look at the painting, my answer was: yes, Painting in Partnership can do this for you! Click here for more detail.
