Leonard Pardon
British Master
of Faux Painting

Leonard Pardon trained as an artist then was apprenticed for 7 years to a British Master, A. E. Baxby. Through Baxby he learnt the techniques which had been passed through the generations since the middle ages when faux or decorative painting, as it was then known as, was the only form of decoration in Europe. Leonard Pardon has through his own teaching and his step-by-step, how to videos, passed this to a new generation of students who are now successfully carrying out the work worldwide.

His clientele include Kings, Queens, Sultans, Sheikhs, film stars, rock stars and many of the important "movers and shakers". His work can be found in many Palaces, Stately Homes, Hotels, Clubs, Private Houses and commercial buildings in most the the world's major cities. He recently had 13 of his series of videos shown Nation wide by PBS. He has appeared on Discovery Channel on Home Matters and made numerous guest appearances on overseas cable channels particularly in South American countries.

He is based in Miami Florida where he gives occasional Master classes.
