There are several several stucco painting techniques. Stucco molding, Stucco molding and gilding.

Stucco molding is a monochrome painting when we use only one color but a lot of its shades. This makes stucco more voluminous. And it is the easiest work.
Art painting has no color limit. We use various colors, its shades and pearl color.
We also can turn your cornice into any kind of wood or stone. We can make it older, with craquelure.

In gilding we use different gold colors or potal. It is a very thin foil imitating gold, silver, copper and their oxides.
The gilding can be solid or glare. Special glue is applied to stucco and some time later the potal is glued to it. Then everything is smoothed and brushed off and vanished.
The potal can be of various colors and superglossy. The superglossy potal does not tarnish and ordinary people cannot distinguish it from gold leaf.
But gold leaf is much more expensive. The technique is similar but more hardworking from the very beginning.
In our work we use acrylic paints. They are resistant, do not fade and after drying are washable.
Each sample is done individually, taking into account the purpose of the room, lighting and so on.
We often combine technics but sometimes we use only one technic in accordance with the wish of the client.
