structurmaling

Structurmaling is a decorative painting technique that creates textured surfaces. It involves applying paint mixed with various aggregates or fillers to achieve a three-dimensional effect. Common materials used in structurmaling include sand, marble dust, wood flour, or even small glass beads. The application method can vary widely, utilizing tools such as spatulas, trowels, rollers with textured surfaces, or brushes to manipulate the wet mixture.

The technique can be employed both indoors and outdoors, often used for decorative wall finishes, architectural elements, or artistic canvases. The resulting texture can range from subtle roughness to pronounced relief, mimicking natural materials like stone, wood grain, or stucco. The visual appeal of structurmaling lies in its ability to add depth, character, and a tactile quality to surfaces that would otherwise be flat.

The specific aesthetic and texture achieved depend on the type and amount of aggregate used, as well as the artist's application technique. This allows for a high degree of customization, making it a versatile option for interior design and artistic expression. Structurmaling is often sealed or varnished after application to protect the textured surface and enhance its durability.
