Decorative painted surfaces range from the spectacular ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the intricately designed walls of the Castro Theater to specialized finishes that you can do in your own home. In this course, for both the beginning and advanced student, you learn and practice a variety of decorative painting skills. Techniques demonstrated include surface preparation, the use of stencils and patterns, pinstriping, glazing and stippling, distressing, and decoupage as well as gilding in its many forms. Participants create their own sample sheets of many of the decorative painting techniques demonstrated by the instructor.
