Apply first overlay of column top, let dry then do
the second overlay.

Repeating the center portion of the columns down
the wall

Using the column top upside down as the base. |

I've always loved architectural columns, so when one of my first plaster
stencil designs was our
Raised Plaster Life-sized Columns
Stencil Set
.
My husbands music studio in our basement, with all of it's long, blank
walls was the perfect place to test this new design.
The design was super easy to execute and in just one day I created 6 of
these large, lovely columns (and that includes the drying time!).
Starting at the top of the wall, I used the first overlay of the column
top against the ceiling, let it dry and then did it's ornate overlay.
I then began repeating the column center down the wall and used the same
column top as the base (just flipping it upside down). I could then do the
last repeat of the column center.
A quick wash of translucent wall glaze mixed with warm brown acrylic
paint gave the columns more detail and presence in the room. I used my
original wall color to touch up around the columns as necessary to rid the
wall edges of any glaze spill over.
On each wall I created two of raised plaster columns with raised plaster
frames in the center using our
Raised
Plaster Ornate Frame Stencil design.
Completing the music theme, I then stenciled our Life-sized
Violin Stencil
in the center over the top of hand painted music sheets.
