A chance meeting at FLIBS’ pretty awful food court a few years ago brought faux painting to my attention. I met there Anne Renaud (sorry, I know fox in French is renard, but Renaud is close and at TYRG we love our headline puns) who is a master of faux painting. We discussed the idea then of an article on what this can bring to a build. Recently she sent us this case study on how this technique can camouflage the mundane and elevate it to convincingly imitate the luxurious. Anne also explains specifically what faux painting did for Trinity build T-039.
