Let’s face the facts,
some are gifted with a sense of proportion and aesthetic sense and some are
not. There is a well-known saying that “beauty lies in the eyes of the
beholder”. In the case of the house owner that would very well lie in their own
regardless of the fact of them having a good aesthetic sense or not. Often a
painter can help you out with colour schemes. A professional Painter in Hornsby has to see beyond
what is aesthetically correct and try to peek inside the mind of the house
owner to see what their preferences are. Perhaps the professional could offer
suggestions that would appeal to the house owner and yet have widespread grace
and charm.
Like skin is to a
human in outward appearance, somewhat similar is paint to a residence or office
building. A completed grey structure of a building is very much like an
unfinished painting, just waiting for a transformation with nice and
beautifully applied paint.
There are 3
stages to a final reality check in choosing a colour scheme for one’s residence
or office building. Firstly to imagine so in one’s mind. The interim next step
is to view that on a computer in 2D or a 3D CAD as a model. Lastly to view the
finished structure in absoluteness. The vision in the mind and in realism, are
seldom going to be an exact match. Viewing the proposed colour scheme on a
computer is a stop-gap step that narrows the gap between visualizing and
actuality. I used the words “narrows the gap” because of the disparity in
colours between what is being displayed on the computer screen or colour print
out as well as the discrepancy between a paint company shade card and how
different these look in reality. A good painter
in Hornsby might suggest some modern wall paint decorating techniques,
• Strie.
To explain to a
layman such a technique has a nexus to hair streaking done by some females.
Strie is basically vertical stripes on a wall. A glaze is mixed with the paint
and then an uneven paint roller or uneven brush is dragged vertically downwards
over the paint. Consequently, beautiful vertical stripes are made on the wall
•
Parchment stripes and parchment finish
Parchment writing
was done on animal skins a long time ago. As most people would notice that even
old paper tends to turn a golden yellow over time and so did the animal skins.
Parchment finish on a wall is not all that difficult to do and could be
accomplished by semi-skilled people. Parchment stripes would tend to imply a
two-tone parchment finish done in alternating wide stripes of dark and light
coloured parchment.
• Crosshatch
In such a technique first, the masking of areas such
as windows and door frames are carried out. Wet paint is applied. Then with a
dry brush horizontal and vertical strokes are applied in a calculated and
artistic pattern forming a cross hatch.
