Faux Painting Finish - Crackle
This site requires that javascript be enabled to view all of our content.
Crackle is a faux painting finish produced by using two varnishes having two different drying times which work against each other to produce a crazed, crackled, effect. The first coat of varnish is applied and left to dry. While the surface is still " tacky ", the second application of varnish is applied. Emily Smith displays examples of her crackle faux finish work.
