Strie
Strie comes from the French for striped or streaked. Bright colors can be used to create an edgy and modern look. Traditional uses of neutral colors mimic the textures of linen or silk.
Combing
This technique is versatile and youthful. Different sized "teeth" can be used to create a variety of looks, cross hatching and waves can produce the appearance of grass matting or raw silk.
Colorwashing
With its subtle clouding appearance, this technique creates an aged look while also hiding any imperfections in the wall. Using shades within the same color family adds to the peaceful movement of the brushstrokes.
Marbelling
An age old symbol of opulence, marble and stone has a rich appearance which adds to any space and surface. The re-creation of these materials with paint is affordable, and can be almost impossible to differentiate when installed by a skilled artisan.
Woodgraining
Another material which can be imitated with paint, the many varieties of wood can be recreated with an experienced hand to create the appearance of quality materials at a much lower cost.
Geometrics
From stripes and shapes to more intricate lattice and Greek keys, geometrics are in themselves a work of art. The importance of space measurement and planning will be evident when produced by an experienced painter.
Stenciling and Stamping
Repetitive patterns can be installed efficiently and neatly using stencils or stamps. These coverings can be whimsical treatments in powder rooms, or can be used to mimic the look of elegant wall paper coverings. As with geometrics, the measurement and use of space is evident when installed by an experienced painter.
