The group of columns below demonstrates the various stages of the painting process.  On the right are some samples of marbling techniques used.

First layer of color applied to white plastic columns, purchased at local home store.

Here I am in the middle stages of applying multiple layers of colored glazes to accomplish a realistic looking marble.

The black and metallic colors are in the middle stages on the column base and cap.  I wanted to match the black granite top on the kitchen counters.

The base and tops are just about complete.  Just one more coat of glazes and the story will be told.

Before the Faux stone finish was applied to the top portion of the drywalled arch section.

We have just started to rough in the Faux stone work on the upper arches.

This is a two color marble treatment on a plastic flower stand, with a pot tray on top to give height to the stand.

After the upper Faux stone finish was applied to the drywall arches.

An overall view of the completed columns with completed Faux stone arch technique.

We are at the middle stages of the project on the left.

This is the before stage of what will become 14 matching columns.

Here are the before and after of two crowns.

These pictures show Faux details done over arches.  All work is hand painted.

The exterior columns are painted to match the outside color with the caps and bottoms painted to match the copper gutters.
