Venetian Plaster as Ceramic Tile

COLOR IS EVERYTHING in Decorative Art

THE ART OF COLOR & FINISH COMBINING

Color is played like music, as precision mixed chords. The chord harmonies leave their indelible impression in the mind of the beholder.  Color can no more be riveting in isolation, than a note can.

That is Color in composition. The next challenge of color is precision mixing. When an architect or designer comes asks for a specific color in plaster or paint,  they're not looking for a similar' hue or a 'fairly close' value.  They expect precision from the professional.

These aspects of color comprise the content of the Academy's Color Course. They are also illustrated below in photographs of the work of this studio.

In the end, color excites.

In the beginning it was white...

Shown Above, Buon Fresco's job winning reproduction of 80 year old Chinoiserie Painted paper from Manhattan Townhouse, faithfully duplicating: Art, Colors, and large Cracking throughout.

Piece of original Damaged Painted paper.

   

Geometric shapes in Color, limited in scope. How much more interesting than symmetry and monochroma.

The Dining Room before. White fails to excite.

The Dining Room in soft coordinated color.

Boys Room Blues - Note ceiling Color

An office to wake up to, and be woken up by.

Simple Elegance in Faux Leather Walls

Not a note out of place.

Neutral Heaven

The view through

Never neglect the ceiling as a composition creator.

Color is like a melody.

Color Matching Venetian Plaster. Images above and below show visits to repair or add to work completed years before. Above Left, a Washington DC Apartment House Lobby has a wall added to the ceiling plaster. The Color work in this room did us proud. Venetian Plaster coordinates flawlessly with fabrics from this sitting room and bedroom; also with the oil glaze in the entry shown partly here. The Color mood is comforting.
