How Do I Paint Light Green Faux Marble On Large Column

by THAT Painter Lady

Wow… the subject of faux marble is really heating up.  I just got another question asking how to paint light green marble on a column.

I’d like to paint my wooden columns a light green faux marble. How would I achieve this?Amy

I found this great little guide for painting Green Marble on a column.  You can see the directions here: Faux Green Marble

The directions call for the old Plaid Faux Finish Marbleizing Kit, which isn’t available anymore (except maybe on eBay). Faux Marble Kit

The kit included:

Basecoat Color(4 fl. oz.) Black

2 Marbleizing Colors(2 fl. oz. each) 2 colors of green (light and dark)

Veining Color(1 fl. oz.) white

Marbleizing Extender(2 fl. oz.) faux glazing liquid

Marbleizing Thickener(2 fl. oz.) Not Needed

Marbleizing Sponge (Useless … should have been a sea sponge) and a Marble Veining Feather (sold at any good crafts store)

Poly Sponge Brush

THAT Painter Lady says:You don’t need a kit!”

Hope this helps… Debra

Hi Debra,
A while back you had a link that advertized a special stool on wheels that had a seperate place to kneel on with padded knee supports. It was really cool. I can’t find it now and I didn’t discover the price or how to order it. Do you have that info? I need a great stool to paint a mural on a low wall in a play room, to save my back. Any ideas? Thanks, Vicki
