Special Event: Marshall Watson presents The Art of Painted Finish

Join Marshall Watson, interior designer and Isabel O'Neil Studio member, for a workshop: The Art of Painted Finish, followed by a reception at Brunschwig & Fils.

Marshall Watson has various degrees in Design, Scenic Design, and Fine Arts from schools ranging from Stanford University, Brandeis University, the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco and New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, all inevitably leading to the start of Marshall Watson Interiors.
He is known for developing a well-deserved reputation as one of America's most respected design industry leaders, accumulating accolades from peers, clients, and many nationally known design publications. His firm has executed projects throughout the U.S. as well as in the UK, Japan, and Mexico.

The Isabel O'Neil Studio Workshop, founded in 1955, is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards and traditional methods of the art of the painted finish. Founder Isabel O'Neil dedicated her life to teaching and perpetuating the art of the painted finish. After completing her studies at Skidmore College and Yale University, she researched the historic methods of the art form from its origins in the Renaissance through its diverse manifestations and stylistic applications in the later periods. Using 20th-century materials, she formulated new methods of achieving faux fantasy finishes to simulate exotic materials such as marble, shagreen, tortoise shell, lapis lazuli, and malachite.

The event will take place November 18 at 3:00 p.m. at Brunschwig & Fils, suite 1200.

Kindly RSVP by November 15th to 212-348-4464 or email Studio@IsabelONeil.org.

Sponsored by the Christopher Norman Collection.
