Also included is advice on how to apply paint effects to large areas and assess the compatibility of two or more effects when used together.Each step-by-step technique contains alternative scenarios and discusses the different effects created by light, color, texture, and shape when the same techniques are applied to different areas. Eighteen step-by-step decorative paint projects are included, as well as more than 100 different paint effects. This book also includes everything you need to know about basic painting equipment, planning and surface preparation. It's the perfect source of inspirational ideas for anyone looking to jazz up those plain old walls!
