Faux Painting is when paint is applied by an artist to a surface in a manner to match a certain pattern and color desired. Normally, it requires a base coat of paint with numerous other coats of other color paint to achieve the desired look. Faux painting is used on walls and many other surfaces. Almost any faux look can be accomplished. Faux finishing are techniques used to create appearance of texture. You can use simple techniques to make a wall look marbled, rough, weathered and so on. Your local mega-hardware store can provide books, instructions, paint and tools. Answer Faux is French for the word "false". It's an artistic technique of creating the illusion of whatever finish you are trying to mimic. All the "faux" finishes identified above can be acheived and many others. Of coarse, the more practice/experience one has, the more realistic the final finish is. Faux finishes should not be confused with murals or Trompe L'oeil (French for "mislead the eye"), the depiction of a image or scene that appears to be 3 dimensional or life like, for example. Murals are not necessarily Trompe L'oeil.
