Venetian Plaster is a wall surfacing technique, considered an art form, applying thin layers of plaster with a spatula with blue steel blades that creates a distinctive, smooth, soft mirror finish.

This paint technique was used widely throughout history: tombs in Egypt were decorated with a lime and gypsum plaster; cities in India used plaster - one in particular used blood for the pigment, resulting to its nickname The Pink City. Italy was ,and still is, widely known for its beautiful colors and plaster technique.

Creating a surface of Venetian Plaster is a very involved process. It takes time, patience and an eye for detail.
