This photo is of a pink Venetian marble board I have created for a customer.
A very similar process to the orange Venetian wall. Priming the board and layering multiple pinks. I then burnished the material with a trowel to compact the materials.
I also sanded the board before adding the final details. I hand painted the veins with a brush. Then used and air brush to create the other effects in white.
I then waxed the board before buffing the surface
This was a multiple-layered process that really brings texture, depth, and character to the finished piece. I started by applying a base coat after priming the surface. Once that was dry, I added a set of fossil stencils to create intricate patterns and texture. After that, I built up another layer to add further dimension and richness. I then used additional stencils to bring forward those details, making the texture even more pronounced — a process that’s definitely time-consuming but worth every moment. Once everything had a chance to set, I sanded back the surface to reveal the depth underneath. Before polishing, I used an airbrush to add finer details and rich tonal variation, adding softness and a sophisticated, atmospheric effect. This careful combination of techniques results in a truly bespoke, one-of-a-kind piece — perfect for adding character and warmth to a restaurant, hotel, or feature wall in a home. My aim is to bring artistry, texture, and a soulful feeling to every space I transform.
These photos were a bathroom job. The ceiling was artex so I prepped it after the electrician had moved the spot lights. 2 coats of sbr/pva and the same for the existing walls. I built out any deviations before skimming the walls and around the beads on the reveals. Any areas remaining were to be tiled.
