TIPS
After the surface is completely dry it will turn pure white. Once this occurs, it is important to allow the surface to site for 12 to 24 hours to allow the stucco to react with the base and solidify.
Keep the trowel clean. While adding the second and third coats, it is important to work with a clean trowel. Keep a bucket of warm water near by to clean the trowel as needed and lessen the chances of creating unwanted scratches in the surface

Step-by-step tutorial starts here...
Step 1: Preparation
IBecause Stucco Rustico is a mineral based stucco compound, I’ve first primed my drywall surface with a Quartz Primer, an Acrylic Fixative. and allowed this to dry and breath for 24 hours.
Step 2: Application
Apply a generous amount of Stucco Rustico to the large grip handle trowel using a smaller, flat trowel.
Step 3: Determine coarseness of application
Begin by spreading the stucco compound over the Acrylic primed surface in wide, sweeping motions. This one and only coat should be applied creating the decorative texture you desire. You can work smoothly, with little product over-lap, or create peaks and valleys with the trowel edge for a more aggressive, rustic appearance.
Step 4: Apply glaze to stucco.
Once dry, I begin to glaze over the surface with my 4 inch brush using the Velatura Glaze. The Velatura glaze is highly concentrated and can be diluted between 100% and 300%. I like to create a loose, watery solution as it tends to flow more evenly over the textured surface. Once the glaze sits on the Stucco it begins to absorb at different rates across the surface, creating the non-uniform look that Stucco Rustico is known for.
Step 5: Rubbing the glaze.
Next, aggressively rub the existing glaze over the surface with a brush to insure you've reached all the recesses in the textured surface.
Step 6: Buffing the glaze for plaster.
A light rubbing with a clean rag helps soften the finish and remove excess glaze build up.

Venetian Plaster
Polished Plaster, or Stucco Veneziano, is a Traditional wall treatment that provides a glossy, visually textured wall finish. Venetian Plaster is a natural formula composed of organic ingredients, calcium, and acrylic binders creating a decorative paste plaster for interior applications. Polishing the surface compresses the calcium within the compound, creating a narble-like finish, cool and hard to the touch.
This treatment is quite versitile, ranging from a rustic backdrop to a refined and elegant finish.
Faux Marble Paint Finish
In Italy, the word marble is synonymous with Carrara, after the great marble quarrying region in the north of the country. Through centuries marble has enhanced interiors world wide. Creating the impression of real marble in your home can quickly elevate the presence of any furniture or object. It adds interest and charm and transforms everyday objects into heirlooms. I’ve chosen this painted white marble because of its rustic simplicity. Yet it illustrates the foundation for creating a variety of marble types, your imagination being your only limitation.
Painted Floral Details
Floral patterns used as accents in fabrics and furniture are common place details in the English Country home. These graceful and organic patterns complement the cozy interior of this style and work particularly well with lace window treatments, an heirloom tea service set and the natural and rustic charm of wooden ceiling beams and slightly irregularly textured walls.
