This site is dedicated to the beginner and the professional decorative paint finisher.  The Decorative Arts Studio provides classes / workshops and product that enable artisans to create unique finishes for walls and furniture.  We offer beginning classes that take the novice artisan to the level of performing unique finishes for their pleasure.  The advanced classes provide the  professional additional faux finishes for their portfolios, creating a higher demand for their services.  If you are looking for interior design ideas why not create a unique atmosphere with one of the many faux finishing techniques such as Venetian plaster, glazing, wood-graining, marbling and many others.

Wanting to go into business as a Faux Painter, add a mural to your dinning room for a conversation piece, finish that old dresser to make it look like you paid thousands for it, spice up the half bath, put some ivy in the kitchen, add a theme to you child's room or just give your visitors a warm feeling as they enter your home. 

With faux and decorative painting you can do all of this and more like: give your concrete floors a faux floor finish, use painted clouds to bring that airy feeling to a rooms ceiling, crackle finish the coffee table to make it look like a antique, give your fireplace a marble mantle, or paint the walls to look like leather or stone.  Your guest will just have to touch these finishes, they will not believe that they are just paint (maybe you don't tell them).

Whether you are just looking for ideas or are a professional decorative painter The Decorative Arts Studio has the knowledge, classes and products you will need to be successful.
