MARBLING IN VENETIAN PLASTER
[VPIII ]
I would
describe the Marbling Columns Class as a fabulous experience of technique,
exploration and personal accomplishment! John Howe, Ashburn VA
Following the Venetian Plaster
III [Marbling] Class, graduate William Lai of Ashburn, VA, was
contracted to do 1,500 Square Feet of Venetian Plaster as Marble.
He wrote the Academy to tell us - "I'll be busy for months!"
September 07'
For the
first time in any Marbling Classes, I became one with the techniques. I
would definitely recommend the class, but then:
I love the
fine-art-level-
of classes at Buon Fresco’s Academy!

COLOR INTENSIVE COURSE
"I went to
Heaven! The COLOR Class is ‘La Crème de la Crème!" Michelle Lane,
Alexandria VA
"The Class
was a feast of knowledge! I would recommend the Color Class to everyone in
a very loud emphatic voice and describe it to other artists as the most
useful and comprehensive Color Course on the Planet, as well as more fun and
fascinating than any other color class I have ever taken!" Linda ONeil,
Reston
VA
"A true REVELATION about Color! I could
take the Color Intensive Course over and over again!" Michael
Ross, Clinton MD
"WONDERFUL!
The Color Class sets a benchmark for sample board presentation" Barbara
Coley, Ridgefield
CT
"I've taken color classes in college, but nothing
was ever this comprehensive! We're in the process of building
a 9 bedroom house and I find, now that I've taken your Color Class -
That I know what I'm doing! I have the confidence to make decisions
and direct my designers to give us the house of our dreams.
I'm so glad we found you!"
Jan Quiggins, Outer Banks, NC
'I wasn't sure what to expect,
however I was immediately impressed by the professionalism, demeanor,
and quality of the instruction and materials. I learned far
more than I ever thought I would. I leave this class with a richer
understanding and appreciation for an ancient art.
I will never look at a wall or color
scheme the same way again.
Victoria helped me to free the stymied, constricted designer that
resides within my soul and expanded my mind - opening up new ways of
thinking and looking at color that I wouldn't have considered before.
Additionally her 'anything is possible' attitude has left me utterly
transformed. I am a better person as a result. I look
forward to returning to San Francisco to apply what I have learned here,
knowing that now I have a distinct advantage over other designers - and
knowing in my heart that I am capable of anything I desire.' Chad
Fox, San Francisco, CA

enjoyed the instruction so much I was whistling all the way home!" Lilly Starr, Potomac MD

“I found
your Venetian Plaster instruction not difficult. You guided my hand and I
got it! I already finished a job and walls look great! I believe that I
will receive new jobs, because like maestro, I am much better than the
workers I see around me. Biggest thanks from the bottom of my heart for all
what you put in classes and our souls!" Igor Vinokur, New York,
NY
"What impressed
me the most I the business class was the proven business policies. The
information will save valuable time, money and grief. The Marketing &
Business Class is a MUST for anyone conducting a business in decorative
painting." Kathleen
Cronin, Gainsville VA
Dear Victoria,
"I came to The
Academy of Wall Artistry to add to my repertoire of faux finishing as well
as to learn the art and science of Gold Leafing. Because of you, I did.
Not everyone is a teacher. You are." Doreen Welch,
New Orleans, LA
"Estoy asombrado de como todo es facil, cuando un
profesional ensana!"
Daniel A. Jara, New York, NY
"I am writing to tell you how
much I enjoyed the classes I recently took at Buon Fresco's Academy.
Throughout my 15 years in the business I ahve taken several courses,
but they were nowhere near the caliber of the classes you offer.
I cannot recommend your sessions highly enough!"
George Mavlian, Annandale VA
I am SO glad I took your Venetian Plaster
training! Just one day after graduating I got a job based on
the samples I made in the class! Your instruction was
EXCELLENT! Please sign me up for the Gold Leafing Class!
William Lai, Ashburn VA
After the
Venetian Plaster Intensive class I went from artistically challenged to
mixing my OWN colors confidently and
ready to start my own business! As someone who is changing
careers, this class was the first day of
the rest of my life! Would I recommend The Academy to other
artists? I AM ALREADY SPREADING THE NEWS! Nichole
Quiggins, Outer Banks, NC
