White Carrara Faux Marble - A RECIPE: Background (Part 2 of 3)

Next up...Layer 2, the Veining Layer. In this video, Pierre Finkelstein demonstrates how to paint a White Carrara Pedestal using the HV'Art Lacquer Paint System. In the previous video, Pierre showed you how to create the Background Layer (Layer 1). On the Veining Layer (Layer 2), Pierre adds dark gray fragments by painting networks of hooks; as he says "don't paint the veins, paint the fragments!" He connects his anchoring points while keeping the darker tonality at the bottom. He adds his secondary veins with a 3-Header (pointed) brushes and transparent light gray glaze. Next, he paints tiny fragments with his 3-Header Chiqueteur alongside the beds. He blends the interiors of the fragments first with a Bristle Softener. Then he follows by blending the veins in an up and down motion, always pushing to the top. He finishes up by adding little dots at the intersection and smoothing in an 8 motion. To ensure a realistic pedestal, he connects the veins at the corners and always mirrors the direction on the opposing side. Featured in this video are the techniques of veining, breche, fragments, hooking, chiqueteuring, and softening. Each technique requires speciality tools and brushes.
