STIPPLED FAUX FINISHES

Urban Revivals can quickly complete a stippled paint treatment for your walls or ceilings. Stippling is accomplished by casting a soft veil of color over your walls using a combination of short soft-bristled brushes. Color variation can be adjusted by the pressure applied and type of brush. We find stippling is very effective when mixed with decoupage, as the soft glaze makes the images appear to be "a part of the wall."

We use oil-based glaze treatments, in which pigment is suspended, for a beautifully translucent finish. Our finishes are brushed over a white background, or any shade of your choosing. The stippling brushes effectively remove glaze leaving a finely freckled surface finish. We can use existing painted walls, but highly recommend that their surface be in good shape and smooth. We recommend software colors, such as pink, cream, pale beige, and yellow ochre for large areas; bold colors are better used below a dado or chair rail (as shown above).
