Fantasy Sky Phase 2

From the above image to the below (almost final image) This takes hours of blending working all the colors back in and out to achieve a smooth transition. The next step of this project is to get rid of all the white trim with a bronze patina and some heraldic griffin stencils to complete the look. (Drywall dust is everywhere as you can see reflecting in the flash on the camera)

Piano Room Phase 2

I know this picture is a little blurry....but I think it captures the spirit that not every day in the art world is a happy one. No matter how many times you do something or how experienced, mistakes are still unavoidable.

Here Max has finished the ceiling and is begining one of the first coats of the valentino plaster. This plaster takes 6 steps to achieve the finished look.....and it is well worth it!

Piano Room

Here Max is applying the first coat of plaster to the ceiling. This treatment will take two coats to achieve the finished product. The main challenge when working with plaster is to keep the lap lines to a minimum....Max is one of the best!

This image is the first picture of what will become the piano room. Notice the heavy wall texture. This was was no small project for the homeowner, he had to have all of this material removed and then new drywall applied to accept the venetian plaster.....lots of work and mess to correct this. The transformation of this house is really pretty incredible.

I will post the finished pictures of the faerie room next week. Here is the next project. We are currently in the process of finishing this entire home renovation. The homeowner is really into gothic style design as well as fantasy art. For his bedroom we are creating a purple fantasy sky to resemble an image he has thought about for many years. We will also be incorporating many different styles of faux finishes along with authentic venetian plaster throughout the entire home. Here is the image of the begining stages for the fantasy sky.
