- What is a Faux Finish?

A Faux Finish is a form of decorative painting that creates the illusion of depth and textures often mimicing natural materials. The word FAUX is a French word meaning "to fool the eye."

Faux Finishes are often used with Glaze. Glaze is  a semi-translucent blending medium which you mix with paint or colorants to create modeled finishes. Glaze dries slower the paint and it allows you to obtain a variety of decorative painting techniques.
