VPIII MARBLING IN VENETIAN PLASTER
Venetian Plaster III graduate, William Lai of Ashburn VA, was recently contracted to do 1500 square feet of Venetian Plaster as Marble. He wrote the Academy an email to tell us, 'I'll be busy for months!' AWA NOTES- September 2007
I would describe the Marbling Columns Class as a fabulous experience of technique, exploration and personal accomplishment!
John Howe, Ashburn VA
For the first time in any Marbling Classes, I became one with the techniques. I would definitely recommend the class, but then: I love the fine-art-level- of classes at Buon Fresco’s Academy!

COLOR INTENSIVE COURSE
Is COLOR everything? Well, Buon Fresco just received a major contract, winning the bid over 2 other companies whose proposal costs were both LESS than ours. Why did we get the job? Color. The clients, who want everything to tie together perfectly and trust our Color judgment, were willing to pay a premium for that expertise. .. Buon Fresco Owner/ Director & Academy Teacher - Victoria Bingham
PS. This happens all the time. COLOR. The best skill in your toolkit.
I went to Heaven! The COLOR Class is ‘La Crème de la Crème’!
Michelle Lane, Alexandria VA
The Class was a feast of knowledge! I would recommend the Color Class to everyone in a very loud emphatic voice and describe it to other artists as the most useful and comprehensive Color Course on the Planet, as well as more fun and fascinating than any other color class I have ever taken!
Linda ONeil, Reston VA
A true REVELATION about Color! I could take the Color Intensive Course over and over again!
Michael Ross, Clinton MD
WONDERFUL! The Color Class sets a benchmark for sample board presentation… Barbara Coley, Ridgefield CT
VENETIAN PLASTER I INTENSIVE
The Venetian Plaster Class was VERY INFORMATIVE! ACTION PACKED! ...will be very useful for my business. I am completely satisfied with what I’ve learned! Tish Inman, Midland VA
I was blown away! I loved learning your method! Among the ways I’ll benefit professionally from this class will be the confidence I’ll have when showing potential clients the great sample boards I now have to show!
Michael McCombs, Louisville, KY
I took your Venetian Plaster Class 2 years ago. The techniques I have learned from you have helped my business grow tremendously. I am now in greater demand and have a much larger client radius in New York. Thank you! Cindy Hill, Big Flats, NY
I enjoyed the instruction so much I was whistling all the way home!
Lilly Starr, Potomac MD
I count this time of learning one of the highlights of my life. I can go so much further now than before!
You have made a rich deposit into my life and work! Anne Small, Greensboro NC
Your Venetian Plaster Class is the best! I most definitely recommend this class. Count this secret OUT!
Michael Ross, Clinton MD
FANTASTIC! Even having experience in Venetian Plaster, I learned SO much more. I would definitely recommend this class to other artists.
Loni Richards, Lakeworth FL
“I found your Venetian Plaster instruction not difficult. You guided my hand and I got it! I already finished a job and walls look great! I believe that I will receive new jobs, because like maestro, I am much better than the workers I see around me. Biggest thanks from the Bottom of my Heart for all what you put in classes and our souls!
Igor Vinokur, New York, NY
What impressed me the most I the business class was the proven business policies. The information will save valuable time, money and grief. The Marketing & Business Class is a MUST for anyone conducting a business in decorative painting.
Kathleen Cronin, Gainsville VA
Dear Victoria, I came to The Academy of Wall Artistry to add to my repertoire of faux finishing as well as to learn the art and science of Gold Leafing. Because of you, I did. Not everyone is a teacher. But you are.
Doreen Welch, New Orleans, LA
I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed the classes I recently took at Buon Fresco’s Academy. Throughout my 15 years in the business I have taken several courses, but they were nowhere near the caliber of the classes you offer. I cannot recommend your sessions highly enough!
George Mavlian, Alexandria VA
GOLD & METAL LEAFING
I HIGHLY recommend the Gold & Metal Leafing Class. The instruction was THE BEST!
Keith / Architects of the Capitol -Washington DC
After the Venetian Plaster Intensive class I went from artistically challenged to mixing my OWN colors confidently and ready to start my own business! As someone who is changing careers, this class was the first day of the rest of my life! Would I recommend The Academy to other artists? I AM ALREADY SPREADING THE NEWS!
Nichole Quiggins, Outer Banks, NC
I’m SO glad I took your Venetian Plaster class! Just one day after graduating I got a job based on the samples I made in class! Your instruction was EXCELLENT! Please sign me up for the Gold Leafing Class!
William Lai, Ashburn, VA
I will ONLY ever recommend your classes when I RETIRE!
Donna Scabo, Raleigh NC
I MARVELED at the amount of information given in the Decorative Painting Class. The specific techniques taught in this class are SO much more elegant than the usual finishes. WONDERFUL!
Cece Koons, Potomac, MD
THE TRILOGY OF DECORATIVE COURSES
‘!THE TRILOGY COURSE WAS LIKE OPENING UP A JEWEL BOX!’
Francelyn Emmanuelli, Puerto Rico]
AFTER THE FIRST DAY of classes I had mentally hired my PAINTER and INTERIOR DESIGNER! I knew I CAN DO THIS! The information was excellent and the pace of the class – PERFECT!! Bethany Beach, DE
Where else can you get such advanced training and launch a career in less time and for about the same cost as one college course?
Lily Starr, Potomac MD
I would give a great reference for The Academy but I would want to keep it a secret in Puerto Rico where I live! Maria Gonzalez, Puerto Rico
The Marbling Columns with Venetian Plaster Course EXCEEDED my already excited expectations. I’ve taken several marbling classes, this was the first time I was shown exactly how to do the veining!
Linda ONeil, Reston VA
MARKETING & BUSINESS COURSE
The Marketing & Business Class was VERY INFORMATIVE! A lot of issues were brought up that I would never have thought of. This class will save me from a lot of mistakes that would have discouraged me from starting a business.
Veronica Perez, Glenn Allen VA
