| Whisper Painting is a popular style that’s soft, subtle, and easy to do, and with these ample photos as a guide, anyone can give plain walls, furniture, and home accessories beautifully understated decorative finishes. The projects showcase 30 different techniques, and start with such simple, unintimidating processes as tracing, decoupaging, ragging, and dragging.
Add texture to a mantelpiece with dimensional paint; antique a brand-new mirror so that it looks like a Renaissance work of art; and reproduce an aged stone wall. Introductory sections provide paint and color basics, and each project is labeled with one, two, or three paintbrushes according to difficulty.
