Publisher's Note
Paint is one of the easiest and most creative ways to give your home an exciting new look, adding color and individual style to any room. Whether the desired look is soft colorwashes or cool stripes, elegant trompe l'oeil schemes or fantastic faux finishes such as marble or wood, The Complete Book of Paint provides the creative ideas, the techniques, and even the recipes for achieving truly professional results. For every conceivable surface - walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, fabrics, and metalwork - The Complete Book of Paint offers you everything you need to know before you even pick up a brush: what to buy, how to prepare and apply paint to a number of different surfaces, how to mix paints, and ideas for using color inside and outside the home. In addition, 20 step-by-step projects illustrate a variety of unique designs and useful techniques, each one presenting a dazzling array of colors, patterns, and textures.

Industry Reviews
"Decorative painting techniques...illustrated here include sponged, marbled, rag-rolled, stippled, and stenciled walls, and faux tortoiseshell and malachite surfaces...with step-by-step instructions for mastering each technique....Written in a chatty, familiar style, this manual can be considered a basic sourcebook, containing tips on preparation, systematic advice, and sufficient information on tools, paint products, and glaze recipes to undertake a variety of projects."
