Process
For this design we played off the details of the molding and architecture of the house. We took inspiration from Italian ceilings, especially rose medallion ceilings. The medallions here were painted to look three dimensional and add detail and interest as well as the area to drop the chandeliers from.
Execution
There were many layers in this design. I started with a wash and glaze and then added in more of the architectural features with clean lines. I added the last layer scrollwork to give the design a little whimsy and then the medallions to finish the look.
Detail
The last layer provided more of a feature with a polka dot metallic stencil to give it an extra added texture.
