European trained master painter John Learnard of The Color Alchemist Company of Painters specializes in the finest faux finishes, historic preservation and fine home painting in the U.S. We produce faux finishes such as wood graining and marbling, gilding, murals and wood refinishing. A native of Washington D.C, John Learnard learned his craft in Europe, where as an apprentice, he was not allowed to touch any brush for two years. After many years, he has honed and refined his craft in order to execute any effect, in paint, that you desire. Contact him early in the project, during the design stage, in order to make sure that your project is the success that you intend.

Comprehensive Solutions to Historic Restoration

Consider also that the painting company that you select will, in the course of paint preparation, perform a most thorough hands-on inspection of your building, quite possibly turning up repair and waterproofing issues.  Our commitment to the reliable performance of the paint film requires that these conditions will be properly understood and appropriately addressed, whether in house or through allied trades.  While not general contractors, the Color Alchemist Company of Painters adheres to a thoroughgoing and comprehensive approach to all painting substrate issues.
