Strati del Tempo 'Layers of time" technique inspred by the ancient buidlings in Lucca Italy

Inthis full-length tutorial, Ronald Layman will show you step by step how to recreate the "Layers of Time" finish, inspired by the ancient buildings of my time in Lucca, Italy. During my travels to this historic city, I was captivated by the beauty of its weathered walls, adorned with layers of lime plaster and paint that have naturally aged over centuries.
The "Layers of Time" technique mimics the authentic appearance of these centuries-old surfaces. By applying multiple layers of lime paint and Marmorino plaster, using a stencil to create intricate patterns, and then gently sanding the surface to reveal the underlying layers, you can achieve a timeworn effect that exudes history and charm. The final touch is a polishing wax, which imparts a warm, inviting glow reminiscent of Lucca's sunlit walls.
Join Ronald Laymen as he guides you through each stage of this process, from preparation to the finishing touches, ensuring a professional and beautiful result. Bring a piece of Lucca's enduring elegance and heritage into your space with this timeless and evocative finish.

I love to watch Ron's creations. Great teacher. He's inspired me after watching for a year to do a decorative wall in my house with veneziano venetian plaster with stenciling. I bought some Ekena millwork corners and trim to frame out around my artwork over the sofa. I hope it comes out half as nice as his creations. Love art and painting
