Tromp L'oeil Faux Wood

I just traveled back to Baltimore last week to work on a tromp l'oeil style mural. These interior walls were originally painted white with a satin finish. My task, for aesthetic purposes, was to create the illusion of a deteriorating wall in which underlying wood paneling would be exposed underneath the painted surface. The photo above shows the progress of two walls after the wood panels were painted on the white surface, some woodgrain added, and various distressing techniques applied to the paint and faux wood surface.  There are several walls in this portion of the restaurant, and they are all painted to show different stages of decay. Some are merely cracked, some are stained, and (like the photo above) some are completely exposed portions of wood where no paint is left behind.
