Hi Everyone,

Here it is folks another chapter in the ever changing look of Art-Faux Designs. The first blog was only the beginning and was basically a testing ground for all the cool stuff that’s available out there and with even more technology coming out everyday it’s getting tougher to keep up…LOL

I promised a more interactive site for all, of course we still must keep those spammers at bay and with the new technology it sure seems to work very well. With all this increasing interest in my instructional DVDs I am practically forced to come out with a couple of brand new videos at the beginning of July and these will have special pricing for my email list subscribers just like the last series and maybe even a secret BONUS to go along with these new videos.

Stay tuned…Also if there is a topic you’d like me to cover in the next blog post, please leave me a comment and tell me what you’d like to learn next.

Marblizing columns is an art in itself. There are many many different colors of marbles but basically there are only 4 or 5 structures that are important to know. Composition is also an important aspect to pay particular attention to as interest shouldn’t be over powering. As a rule less is best when realism is the effect that you are trying to achieve. Painting marble has always fascinated me, just as everything else that goes with decorative painting does,  but from my own experience I can tell you that over viening your work  is very easy to do, especially when you love painting as much as I do 

 Marbling doesnt have to be complicated to visually get  the look, just alot of practice, like in this fantasy marble. One color in different values can create some nice depth with out spending a huge amount of time on it. But for the sienna marble, rouge royal, violet breche and the more complicated marbles and stone there is more time involved. This technique is a good place to start to learn the basics of different marble structure and  understand the importance of color value as well  ….go to http://art-faux.com  and get more on this  I will be adding more things on this subject as time goes on but in the meantime sign up for our newsletter to get updates
