What's hot in the current home-improvement
market?  Today, it is personality, individuality, and self-expression through
original art to make a dramatic statement.  Discriminating clients, interior
decorators, and designers are seeking faux finishing artists who can apply
decorative paint sky and cloud formations on ceilings, domes, and walls. 
Decorative painting professionals with the ability to provide these faux painting
techniques find themselves in great demand, while enhancing their revenues along
with their reputations.
Clouds is an
intense 3-day class which focuses on building your faux finishing talents through the
study of the skies and different cloud types (with a look outside).  You will
learn everything from fast and effective techniques of faux painting brilliant blue
skies and clouds, to advanced decorative painting of soft sunrises, to even more
complex color-builds of transitional thunderheads.  Emphasis will be on cloud
formations, their reflective qualities, and how proper shadowing can provide
dimension and movement.
Here is a preview of the decorative paint effects you will learn in this very
inviting class:
