Find a Painter to Do Your Faux Painting
Check Out Some Local Design or Art Schools
From Apply Now, former About.com Guide
If you're intrigued by faux painting but can't afford an experienced artist, try contacting a local art school. They may be able to refer you to a fine, but inexperienced, student painter who will jump at the chance to do the work at a reasonable price. The project will give them experience and exposure. Be sure to ask to see the student's portfolio of work so you'll be sure your tastes are in sync.
