Faux Fun: Rag Painting
55 min.
Faux Fun: Sponge Painting 30 min.
Wurden-writer, producer, director, and star of these videos-Really
knows her stuff. Giver her a plain painted wall, and she'll turn
it into something truly stunning. Gone are the days when brush stroke-free
walls were the goal; instead, various techniques can tun a wall
into a work of art. In Rag Painting, Wurden shows how, with old
white cotton T-shirts, you can learn to rag paint and create a marbleized
wall or simulated leather look. Using sheets of plastic pressed
to wet paint, Wurden demonstrated "frottage." All of these
painting approaches are clearly described, including how to correct
your mistake. Aside from Wurdens
annoying habit of saying "OK" at the end of every sentence,
both of these videos will be excellent and affordable choices for
any public library's home improvement collection. -Joan Greenberg,
