From blackwhite magazine - issue 12, My Artisan : Product

Over the years, Resene has developed a number of interior and exterior products that have been designed to impart a range of specialist effects and textures from flat, mineral-effect finishes through to more high-build, tactile surfaces.

Indeed, while not technically a textured finish, Resene’s first product, Stipplecote, had a subtle texture to it and was usually applied using the crow’s foot or crosshatch technique. Further developments in this area saw the release of the highly popular, Textucote, in the 1970s.

The latest addition to this range of specialised coatings – Resene MyArtisan Foundation Coat – has been developed to bridge the gap between professionally applied textures, plasters and renders, and their DIY counterparts.

Resene MyArtisan Foundation Coat is highly versatile and is typically applied in two coats to create a plaster-like finish. Alternately, it can be further worked to create a cross-hatch appearance, and is an ideal base for colour wash, limed and other effects, including Resene’s FX Metallics and Faux Rust.

Resene MyArtisan Foundation Coat is available in most Resene colours and allows the user the freedom to create truly unique and stunning finishes for interior and exterior walls – it is ideal for plasterboard, concrete and plastered surfaces.
