How to faux paint a Marble faux finish on walls and other surfaces

Marble is beautiful but it can be very expensive to install real marble on your surfaces. An alternative is faux painting the surface to look like marble. Marble comes in many styles, colors and design, however, it’s best to keep the busy looking designs to surfaces other than walls. Why? Because the busy designs can clash with the decor in the room. Therefore, faux painting a marble finish that doesn’t have too many veins on a wall is a good idea. Keep the intricate designs for counter tops, vases and other smaller surfaces. There are many ways to achieve a marble faux finish but some methods can be very time consuming, especially when painting a large area like a wall. One way is to take a brush, dip it into a tray of colored glaze, blot the excess and proceed to paint diagonal sections on the wall, blotting the areas with a cheesecloth or rag. You must wait till it is completely dry to add another color. Carrying up the tray of paint is not easy neither is leaving the tray on the floor and having to make multiple trips up the ladder to apply the glaze. That’s why using the Multi Color Faux Palette and Poofy Pad that is included in the DVD Faux Painting Kit and purchasing the new Faux Painting Marble DVD makes the job go a lot faster. No need to blot the excess glaze and the tools are lightweight, so carrying them up a ladder is no problem. You have access to multiple colors on the palette without having to dangerously carry up multiple trays of glaze. For surfaces like columns, counter tops, vanities and vases, applying a more exquisite, moving marble faux finish is recommended as it looks like “the real thing.” You can choose from 6 different types of faux marble to add value to your home instantly by applying them to any of these surfaces.
