New techniques video: Scale & Composition of Distressed Finishes
Here’s a video we just posted with a tip about transitioning your distressed Venetian plaster finishes from the sample board to the wall:
Aaron discusses the importance of considering scale when planning the composition of your distressed Venetian plaster finishes. The example in the video is a distressed Stucco Italiano Intonachino.
Awesome example - after taking a class on venetian plaster - YOUR information is worth it’s weight in gold. I NEVER considered the scale of application in comparison to the sample board. NO Wonder my wall in my kitchen looks so blotchy! I thought THAT was the way it was suppose to look!
Thanks a bunch.

Juliana,
Thanks for the kind words - that is the # 1 enemy of a nice looking distressed finish - wrong scale - but it definitely is challenging at first not to make it look too blotchy like you say or too much like vertical stripes.
Check this page on our site out if you get a chance, has a little more info on scale and distressed finishes - http://www.seattleafs.com/tips_008.php

Again, your information is well worth knowing.
