Whisper Painting

This is the first in a brand-new series, each focusing closely on a specific faux finish. Whisper Painting is a popular style that's soft, subtle, and easy to do, and with these ample photos as a guide, anyone can give plain walls, furniture, and home accessories beautifully understated decorative finishes. The projects showcase 30 different techniques, and cover tracing, decoupaging, ragging, and dragging, dimensional paint; antique a brand-new mirror so that it looks like a Renaissance work of art; and reproduce an aged stone wall. Introductory sections provide paint and color basics, and each project is rated according to difficulty.
