Paint Faux Marble
Faux Marble Gallery
  Issue #305 - February 2008
Painted faux marble dates back to the Renaissance, when sculptor Michelangelo was the hot artist of the day. Apprentices shadowed a master faux painter for years before working on their own, and highest honors went to painters who could trick observers into believing their faux marble was the real thing.

Fortunately, with the products available today it takes minutes, not years, to learn the basics of faux-marble painting. With our step-by-step directions even novice painters can successfully recreate the timeless look of the world’s classiest stone. The result is a high-end look for not a lot of money.
