From the French word meaning "fake", Faux Painting is a form of replicating materials such as marble and wood, or any decorative finish on walls and furniture. What we generally think of as Faux Finishing began with plaster and stucco finishes in Mesopotamia over 5000 years ago. It became very popular in classical times in the form of Faux marble, Faux wood and Trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye) murals. Faux artists would apprentice for ten years or more to learn the craft and great recognition was rewarded to the painter who could actually trick viewers into believing their work was the real thing. Faux Finishing has remained popular throughout the ages, but experienced major resurgences in the nineteenth century and the Art Deco of the 1920's, and again more recently in the 1980's and 90's as wallpaper fell out of fashion. In modern day Faux Finishing there are two major materials or processes used. Glaze work involves using a translucent mixture of paint and glaze, applied with a brush, roller, rag or sponge, and often mimics textures but is always smooth to touch. Plaster work can be done with tinted plasters, or washed over with earth pigments, and is generally applied with a trowel or spatula. The finished result can be either flat to the touch or textured.
