Help!!! I have a client with an adobe house in Fl. Over the past few years I have done mural/trompe l'oeil work in nearly every room. We are doing a trade (my dentist)for work that needs to be done in the living room. Because it's a trade, I can't refer the job to someone else. The problem...the living room with 20ft. high ceilings and vigas they want a faux finish in a light camel/sand color. Everything in the place is exquisite and authethic. Commissioned weavings, old Indian dresses, hand-made sofa, table, etc. from Santa Fe...you get the picture. I would feel comfortable using my regular technique, a flat oil rub over latex, if the walls weren't so high. I was wondering if the is some "canned" plaster or a finish I could use to look like old SW walls, very subtle, that can be a stop/start finish....a look that is more authentic...a plaster.? beeswax?...I don't know what I'. talking about, because my expertise is oil painting. Anyone out there who can point me in the right direction??? Thanks in advance.
