Hello all,

On a recent visit to Florence the hotel room I stayed in had a 'marble effect' paint scheme. Can this effect be achieved by a DIYist? Is it a difficult technique?

Any help anyone could give would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Rastanking,
If you've got the knack its not difficult but as a first timer you will need to practise. Google "marble effect painting" to find suppliers of paints.
