Transforming the mundane walls of Toronto homes into a canvas of artistic expression, the journey continues with MAGUS artists Joanne Chan and Ruby Law wielding their brushes and the magic of Italian "artistic paint" to craft walls that narrate tales of texture, color, and depth. This high-tech modern marvel made from natural minerals, powdered marble, and iron dust brings walls to life, not just visually but with an array of functional benefits like water resistance, non-flammability, and eco-friendliness, all while being shrouded in an aura of artistic allure.
Palette of Artistic Paints: Our maestros didn't limit themselves to a single hue; they employed a symphony of six artistic paints to layer textures without overshadowing each other:
Novacolor - Primer
Novacolor - Marmur Fine
Novacolor - Marmur Medio
Novacolor – Eclat
Novacolor - Barocco Gold Cera Wax
Buoncolor - Mineral Stone Dark Blue
Ruby, with her expertise in Novacolor, introduced us to the bedrock of our magnetic art wall - the primer with a dash of lime, lending a stony texture that becomes the canvas for multi-layered artistic expressions.
The Golden Touch with Novacolor's Eclat: Chosen for its unparalleled "gold content," Eclat shines brightest among its peers, reflecting light with unmatched brilliance, a favorite in Middle Eastern temples but comes with a price tag as grand as its glow.
Prepping the Canvas: Before the grand painting begins, ensuring a smooth surface is paramount since artistic paint doesn't mask imperfections. Ruby meticulously smoothens the seams of the previously installed magnetic boards, setting the stage for the transformation.
Layering the Textures: With the base ready, Novacolor's stone-textured paint is applied in S-strokes, building up layers to create a tangible stone feel on the once-flat magnetic boards. This tactile experience is further enhanced with a sponge application for the final layer, adding depth and dimension.
Illuminating the Map with Gold: The outline of Asia emerges in golden strokes, its brilliance accentuated by the evening light, showcasing unique textures that only artistic paint can achieve.
Charting the Oceans: The sea gets its deep blue-black hue from Buoncolor's Mineral Stone paint, applied with precision and a variety of tools to allow the underlying gold to peek through, mimicking the dynamic nature of oceanic waters.
The Final Flourish with Barocco Gold Cera Wax: The application of gold wax with a sponge on the raised textures of the map accentuates the topography, allowing the gold to catch light at varying angles and depths, completing the masterpiece.
The final reveal is a testament to the transformative power of artistic wall paint, offering not just a visual feast but a wall that's durable, mold-resistant, and eco-friendly, encapsulating the homeowner's unique style and sophistication.
