Antique Plaster Effects
artSparx has created a 3 stage step-by-step
tutorial series. Series 1 begins with basic plaster
application, our 2nd series illustrates antique glazing
and plaster distressing methods, culminating in the final
fresco simulation series 3, hand-painted elements. You can
complete each tutorial as a finish and style in it's own
right. Or, depending on your interests and style needs,
combine the tutorials to achieve the hand-painted fresco
appearance that will bring your environment to life.

Aluminum Leaf

Dutch
Gold or
composition leaf
 |

Aluminum
Leaf imitates the illusion of
genuine
Silver, at a fraction of
the cost. Each
individual sheet is
bigger and easier to
handle then its genuine
counter part.
Purchase Aluminum Leaf
Purchase Genuine Silver Leaf |
The same
applies for 'Dutch Gold',
or 'Composition Leaf'.
But due to the large
brass content, this
imitation gold must have
a sealer applied to
prevent tarnishing,
unlike genuine gold
leaf.
