What techniques create faux stone or wood textures on PVC figurative art?
Creating realistic faux stone or wood textures on PVC figurative art involves a combination of painting, texturing, and finishing techniques. For faux stone, artists often use layered acrylic paints, sponging, and dry brushing to mimic natural variations. A base coat of gray or tan is applied, followed by lighter and darker shades to create depth. For wood grain effects, artists use tools like combs or stiff brushes to drag paint, simulating grain patterns. Sealing with a matte or satin varnish enhances durability and realism. These methods transform smooth PVC surfaces into stunning, lifelike textures.
