Painting Picture Moldings: Before painting picture moldings, make sure that they are free from dust, dirt, and grease. It is usual to work in a similar type of paint as for the walls, which is likely to be latex, although you may choose a contrasting color to pick out the detail of the molding. Using a small brush, paint along the entire length. Use the same method for shielding the Wall as described for painting baseboards.
There are some areas in your home that may present some difficulty when it comes to painting - these include high-up awkward corners, stairways, covings, and picture moldings.
A stairway is one of the most difficult areas to decorate, and for some people it is enough to deter them from even attempting to do it themselves. However, with a just bit of planning and taking extra care while you work - because you will have to stand on an elevated platform - it is quite possible to paint this part of the home yourself, even if you are inexperienced.
For instance, the empty canvas on the easel in the middle of the picture is also the unpainted piece of canvas of the whole studio picture; and the view of the palm trees as well as the window-sill seem to form an organic whole with the world of the paintings that lean against the window-sill. The theme is "painting within a painting", which means that this picture of Picasso's studio is more than a self-portrait in the form of a room. He also used his art to show different kinds of realities and to play with them, as it were. |
