More Venetian Plaster...

...a wonderful painting surface for art.

I think I may have mentioned Venetian Plaster before...maybe HERE.

I'm experimenting with it again and sharing that in a workshop today (July 27) at 

Art On 30th...

I'm pretty excited about that!

Here are a few pieces I shared in that recent post, 

where  I used Venetian plaster as my background.

I love how smooth it is and the finish you just can't get with paint

...it's wonderful to work on!

Below are the latest two pieces just finished.

I used Venetian plaster over an already crackled finish and 

left part of the base finish and color peeking through.

I also used gold leaf for some of the detail in the china pieces...

along with my fav Payne's Gray that I shared in last weeks post.

All you need is a trowel and some plaster.

Decora Company has Venetian plasters on sale right now, 

and you can have color added when you order.  

Find more info and order here.

I hope I've encouraged you to give it a try...I'm pretty sure you will love it!
