Well,
almost the English Version FauxFantastics is the trademark used by Gary Walker, Decorative Painter and Teacher. This Website is a effort to put Mr. Walker's work online for reference purposes. Those interested in knowing more about Faux Painting techniques can surf through the "paintings" and "textures" to get an idea about what each technique looks like. Those wishing to study some of these techniques will find close-up photographs on the "workshops" pages.Presently, in the section about walls on this Website, there is information about schmooshing with a roller and plastic bags, roller washing with glazes, imitating bread crust with acryllic emulsion paste and quartz sand, imitating rose-colored calcario rock and lessons on how to use two acryillic wall coverings which come ready-made on the market. In the section on furniture and other decorative elements, there is information about how to paint on new wood to create effects which look old and weathered or others which look new and run a gamut of colors which could work perfectly in your home. There are also techniques which imitate iron rusting in the backyard, marble and lace curtains. We hope to create a dynamic Website where Mr. Walker and other artists will eventually offer tips and techniques on a regular basis. We have already started a "links" page and hope this grows into a useful tool for people interested in this area of painting or who need Faux Painting services in their communities. We encourage your participation. Send us your ideas. Send us a painting lesson with pictures and permission for us to publish. Let us know about your work and/or your own Website that you might like to link to us. We will carefully review all information you send to us and try to include it on this Website. (Giving credit where credit is due, of course!)
