Marble On A Ceiling

Faux Finishing techniques, lead in making a
Trompe L'Oeil Art Effect on this ceiling.
We used airbrush, pre-primed canvas. It worked great for the marble,
it is smooth, light weight and very easy to handle.
Working on sheets 4 feet by 8 feet at a time,
(the size of a sheet of plywood for a work table)
we applied a faux marble finish, using acrylic paints.
After laying out the ceilings in a grid design for the tile,
precise measuring and then cutting the tiles were
the most important part of the job.
Using a clay base wall paper adhesive, we installed the tiles
individually, just like you would install a canvas mural.
The design, cutting and layout took longer
then actually installing the tiles.
After the tiles were installed we applied real grout
(mainly for a consistent color),
and then of course marble has to be shiney,
so two coats of a clear high gloss polyurethane were applied.
