Publisher's Note These 15 projects, from classic to contemporary, make it easy for artists and decorative painters to render the outside of an ordinary box as special as what's stored inside! An array of stunning paint effects are featured with stop-by-step demonstrations of folk, stroke and decorative painting styles as well as several different faux finishes.
Industry Reviews Myer, a prolific author of books on decorative painting and a veteran leader of seminars on the topic, has produced another fine volume. He uses cabinets and chests in a variety of sizes and styles as his "canvas" for 15 demonstrations. The book provides a wide spectrum of methods, from traditional folk landscapes to Baroque florals, faux fabrics, and faux marquetry. An excellent complement, from an entirely different point of view, to Sybil Edwards's Folk Art Style: Traditional and Contemporary Painting for Everyday Objects (reviewed above). Kolchin
