  Television programmes on how to re-design gardens and patios have fuelled a renewed interest in decorating the outdoor space and the use of paint effects as a way of transforming a plain pot, bench or shed into an exciting feature. Susan Cohen reveals the secrets behind the results to demonstrate patinated and ageing finishes, as well as lead, wood, rust and Swedish-style effects on wood, metal, stone and plastic surfaces - all specifically designed for oudoors - with clear step-by-step instructions and photographs. The introductory section on the necessary brushes, paints and other materials, provides a reference for the beginner, and the 18 projects demonstrate a wide range of effects suitable for all levels of ability.
