Special venetian plaster note from our instructor, Brian Bullard: "Why is it "real"? Most people have been taught or tried venetian plaster one way: thick, when it is actually venetian plaster is designed to be applied thinly. There are several "real" application methods to venetian plaster and you will learn them all in my venetian plaster class. You'll also find that venetian plaster is not labor intensive, if it is, then you're doing it wrong!".
