Since the day when the doors of
Buon Fresco Wall Artistry opened, the founder, Victoria Bingham,
has
developed exquisite techniques that won the studio numerous awards, an abundance of media attention and an international
following of clients and students.
Many of these techniques
were made possible by the development of precision decorative
art tools. Some of these fine tools include:
- THE
BLUE TOOLTM
A Venetian Plaster tool for precise applications
of Venetian Plaster to rounded surfaces such as Niches,
Domed Ceilings and Columns - for marbling or just polishing.
- THE MUSHROOMTM
Precision Stenciling tool for rendering of sharply
defined
patterns over a base of paint or glaze; or over Venetian Plaster - using
either tinted Plaster or Wax.
- THE MARBLING
BLOCK A Marbling
Tool made of the softest /most absorbent - highest
quality fine foam designed to paint and finesse large drifts of color
across wall sized Venetian Plaster - faux marble - slabs.

Leaf Design of Tinted Kolcaustico Venetian Plaster Stenciled
over base of Venetian Plaster using the MushroomTM
|
The MUSHROOMTM
[patent
pending]
The Mushroom is an extraordinary stenciling applicator designed
to apply, finesse, and burnish paint, plaster or wax medium
through a stencil, all the while
the tool is actually holding the edges of the stencil in
place while you work!
You'll be amazed at how quick and
accurate the process of stenciling your walls and surfaces
will become! Note: The Mushroom is washable & reusable
when used with latex or water based products.
Mushrooms come in a set of 3- sizes, in a 'faux silk' pouch for air drying the
mushrooms after cleaning.
|
The Mushroom's remarkable
design affords a precision
result with razor sharp registration lines even while applying
Venetian Plaster over Venetian Plaster. [see
example photo left] |
The Mushroom also
works FAST! The
stencil tools come in 2 sizes; a
smaller tool to accommodate the tiniest details of your most
intricately cut stencil design, and a large size to rapidly
fill in areas of a larger stencil design. |

What have we done with Watermax?
Easier to tell what haven't we done with Watermax!
Buon Fresco has finished thousands of
square feet of Glazing to include Scumble Glazing with
cheesecloth, Strie' - a Fine Brushed finish
[usually suicidal to attempt with anything but an Oil Glaze] and
Kitchen Cabinetry Finishes over Wood. We finished the
majority of the Saudi Arabian Ambassador's
residence in Virginia using Water Max!
-
This glaze stays open
longer than oil,
yet it dries smooth and soft like an oil glaze!
-
The Glaze may be
RE-WORKED just like oil! If you miss or mess up, just
wipe it off or roll over it, and start again! Try that
with Latex! With Watermax you
get the benefit of an Oil Glaze without the solvents or the
fumes!
Once you try Water Max - Extended Open
Time Water Based Paint Glaze, we guarantee you'll never return
to Oil or Latex Glazes !
