What is Venetian Plaster?

Stemming from the decorative arts tradition of Italy, Venetian plaster provide limitless variations and timeless beauty. Subtle changes in color, texture and transparency are brought together through old world techniques and an artist’s hand. Venetian plaster creates a unique environment in your home. Ceiling and wall surfaces are layered with a rich mix of tinted plasters and powdered marbles. Variations in technique, layered color changes and hand polishing transform ordinary surfaces into marble, slate, stone or leather. Venetian plaster is a durable surface treatment that complements the needs of both commercial and residential environments. Bryant Painting is pleased to offer these services as part of its portfolio of fine finishes and color consultation.

The Ventian Artist

Venetian varies by the artist’s hand. Timothy Bryant, B.F.A., founded Bryant Painting in 1976 after graduating from Oberlin College, Ohio. Since that time, he has established himself as one of the premier decorative finish artists in Southeastern Wisconsin. Tim’s designs and execution are unique and flexible. Coupled with his knowledge, creativity and a willingness to push his chosen medium and the results are one-of-kind living and working environments. Learn more about Tim Bryant.
