Essential Skills for Decorative Painting

Decorative Painting has been around for centuries - ancient civilizations were already decorating their interiors and exteriors beautifully and durably. The term ‘decorative painting’ essentially means employing a paint technique to change a plain surface into one with color, depth, and movement, and it’s a skill set that continues to this day. You can learn the foundation techniques required to begin and expand upon your decorative artisan career.

Create a Hand Painted Floorcloth

The ability to make and paint floorcloths adds a unique service to your creative business. Creating and painting your own floor covering allows you to custom size your project, as well as create custom shapes like ovals, circles, and more. You are able to adapt and hand paint the pattern, color, and style to complement the interior design of the space.
