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.
 

Tuscan Style

Design Style Feature

Tuscan style evolved through layers of history, taking cues from the earliest Etruscan metal craft and pottery, and of course, from the sumptuous world of the Italian Renaissance. In Tuscany one finds frescoes, cracked and worn by time, still vibrant with original pigment, depicting ancient deities and the decadence of the late Roman empire.

Application cycle

 

Remove all traces of dust and loose particles, or old layers of flaking paint. Apply one coat of transparent Solvent-based Fixative to very absorbent surfaces or those previously treated with distemper. Apply one coat of Solden Plus to timber surfaces. Apply at least two thin coats of Stucco Veneziano, 3-4 hours apart or if possible 24 hours apart, using a stainless steel plastering trowel or spatula. After the final smoothing wait 8 hours (preferably at least 24 hours), then sand down the surface using fine 600grit sandpaper and dust carefully. To obtain the required decorative effect, apply a further coat using a flexible metal float, stainless steel plastering trowel, superimposing the floated coats. To provide maximum sheen apply one coat of Wax Stucco Veneziano. For further application instructions, refer to Atova Internationals technical support centers advanced application instructions or call 1-866-452-9982.
Practical advice

 

Do not apply to surfaces exposed to direct sun or strong winds. When working on a very absorbent interior surface, first apply one coat of water-based Fixative. For complete uniformity in color, first mix using a paddle, then shake in a mixer for at least 10 minutes. Ambient and surface conditions:
ambient temperature min. 5°C / max 35°C;
ambient relative humidity: < 80%;
surface temperature : min 5°C / max 35°C;
