White Carrara Faux Marble - A RECIPE: Overglazing Layer 3 (Part 3 of 3)

Finally...Layer 3, the Overglazing 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 Veining Layer (Layer 2). On the Overglazing Layer (Layer 3), Pierre adds the crystallization over top of his veins. First, he rolls on a transparent glaze and spreads it evenly with a Spalter Brush. With a mixture of gray, white and burnt sienna, he uses his 2-Header Chiqueteur to add bathing which makes some of the fragments darker. He softens and fades his strokes with the Bristle Softener Brush. Next, he rolls the whole panel with clear glaze, and stretches with a Spalter. To add the crystallization, he loads white mixed glaze and pushes/rotates his Chiqueteur brush; working in beds and unloading mainly on the fragments. He works inside the fragments avoiding the clumps. Using his 2-Header he paints flames across some of the fragments to cut the harder lines. He blends with a Bristle Softener; making sure to follow the bathing and soften across the cluster in an 8 motion. He then adds another layer of crystallization with the 2-Header Chiqueteur, leaving the marks sharper for depth (only gently softening). To make the marble pop he then adds white accents to one side of some veins and fragments, and gently fades them outwards with his Softener Brush. To finish the pedestal, Pierre then varnished using HV'Art Crystal Lacquer (Quartz 40). Featured in this video are the techniques of glazing, stippling, veining, fragments, chiqueteuring, and softening. Each technique requires speciality tools and brushes.
