Anyone have experience with sgrafito, stencils, impressed designs, etc with venetian mop? We are trying to build up a portfolio of samples. Tips are appreciated.

Looks like there's no pioneers out there? I'll have to be the first!

Sorry about the delay in posting we have done alot of different finishes with MOP.I have been using it for 7 years and still find different ways to work it.Most of our applications are decorative and the best way to describe it is artists have been using plasters for centuries as a medium for artistic renderings.MOP works great with stencils I like to apply one color of finish over base coat let dry then trowel on a second coat over finish in a different color pulling tight as the second coat is drying burnish .When the wall is dry you wont feel any level difference between the colors I like to do different color stripes this way. The caenstone is also nice to pull through stencils experiment with it you wont be disappointed.Good luck Kevin |

MOP is great for stencilling and sgraffito, etc. I did a sample board of a corinthian column using a stencil. as it was drying I sgraffitoed some of the detail. When fully dry I mixed some of the MOP finish with various colors (raw sienna, raw umber, yellow ochre) of casein paint and did a soft grisaille trompe l'oeil to really make the detail pop. People love to run their hands over it because it is soft and smooth, yet looks like it is 3 dimensional. If I can figure out how to post a pic here I will show you what I am talking about.
Just go play with the MOP. and the caenstone like Kevin said.
