Paint Magic by Jocasta Innes
This guide to paint finishes takes on a new look, reflecting the simplicity of the '90s interior. The dominant mood for paintwork, walls and furniture is gentle and unobstrusive, so simple techniques for creating rubbed, distressed and aged effects feature prominently, together with ideas for fresco-style finishes that emulate the suble textures of Italian painted plaster. Painted furniture is given greater emphasis, with new suggestions for marbling, antiquing and transforming pieces with watercolour paints. All materials and products mentioned have been updated.Jocasta Innes was born in China and by the age of 15 had visited nearly every continent in the world. With a background of travel, her approach to cooking and food is catholic and international. Today she is best known for her range of paints and chain interior decorating shops, Paint Magic. She is also the author of a string of books on housekeeping and home decorating.
