Faux Brick is a very requested Faux Finish and with most methods taught, it can be very time consuming. There are many different ways you can achieve this faux painting technique, however, many of them require a lot of time consuming steps. As you can view by the video, with the Patent Pending Multi Color Faux Palette, many of those steps are eliminated and achieving this beautiful faux finish is made easier. The look of brick texture is achieved without mess using the Tuck and Gather tool, also. Additional texture can be added by using a natural sea sponge. You may also choose to add a color wash over the blocks after adding the faux texture. If you compare how other methods achieve this faux finish, you will agree that this way is by far the fastest way to do so. Another alternative would be to use a textured paste (spackle or joint compound) to spread over the taped blocks with a sponge or trowel and then after it is dry you paint over it with your base coat latex paint. Afterwards, you use the poofy pad to add a color wash over the textured blocks. This would be more time consuming but would give you a 3 dimensional look. This is just one sample clip of the many Decorative Painting Finishes you will learn with the DVD Faux Painting Kit.
