What if you forgot the cleat wax before the black

Love these suggestions. Thanks

It looks like paint to me, not glaze. Glad I watched this video. It's lovely, but not what I'm looking for.

Love this!! Great job

What color did you do the top of it? Thank you! Looks great!

WOW! Great representation.. Thank you 🙌

🤣 the best intro!!!!!!

Does the wax have any UV properties - to prevent bleaching?

The top thing to do is READ them 😂😂😂

Good idea

Thanks for mentioning that you can add a bit paint to the clear wax to make your own tinted wax. I’m thinking maybe I could do this with white wax as well, to make the waxed effect «beachy» but not as light as with white wax. Or maybe I’m on the wrong track here. I’ve painted my cupboard with a mix of 2 blue/green tones, and am happy with the color, but some places we’ve been unfortunate with some uneaven coating. I think using a colored wax might camouflage this issue.

Come back! I’ve just found your channel. Your videos are so good!

Love your videos! Please come back!

Great video. Very informative!

Can this be used on tile? Thinking of using it over my kitchen backsplash tiles.

I love love love this. Thank you. Please may I ask your advice. I have taken the wall back to the plaster. Would I need to paint the wall first i.e white before I do the distressed paint? I want the wall Turquoise distressed, s I was thinking to paint it Turquoise forst and then use 2 different Turquoises in the distressed paint. Would this work? many thanks

Can you add something to the glaze so it doesn't dry so quickly? I'm doing a design on a wall surface and I need to be able to work it without it drying for quite awhile

Such a waste...😢

If you are painting your piece with black chalk paint do you still need to use clear wax first or can you just put black wax on?

Where did you buy those embellishments?

The cement stuff is a great look. Did you need to sand it at all?

You do so many interesting things.

nice idea thanks for sharing .👍big like to you

WARNING: I ruined my chalk paint project and you could too. I painted my furniture with Annie Sloan old white and it looked amazing! Then I added the Annie Sloan old wax clear as instructed by all the videos and I have wet looking blotchy streaks everywhere! Now I feel bitter because I wasted my energy and time with a ruined project. It has to be stated that these CZcamsrs teaching you these techniques and even Annie Sloan herself are professionals. Compare your Do it yourself table to theirs and you will be blown away. Applying wax is a skill and it’s not for everyone. I hate to bring so much negativity to such a positive community but this really isn’t for everyone. Test yourself. Buy a boring block of wood from Home Depot and apply 2 coats of Chalk paint and Top coat clear wax and if your results doesn’t come out good then this is not for you nor is any painting project that requires a top coat. Your better off painting a wall.

Good ideas. I would use the last idea to make a kitchen paper towel holder too!

A glaze is defined as a color superimposed over another color. That of course is the short version... Pearl essence is a type of pigment. Mixed with a glaze medium of many types it is then a glaze and not before. As a base over the myriad of primers "pearl" is the foundation upon which various glazes are applied. The paste form is much all the same stuff so far as the waterbourne versions. Also available are alkyd base, solvent type lacquer base and catalyzed versions. The latter versions being the foundations for what are called "Candy Colors" or sometimes "Kandy Kolors" by one popular supplier. The earliest versions of the Candy effect "pearl" base were organic..The pearl look was finely ground herring scales suspended in nitrocellulose lacquer. ( Sounds fishy no? ) Very early versions are still around including some examples from Barris Kustoms post WWII. Kudos to the set dresser. a bit of overkill but that's show biz.

If budgetary issues present. Regular furniture wax works a treat. Furniture wax can be tinted with the myriad of artists oils. Reduction (thinning) can be done two ways. Warming the wax and or adding few drops of paint thinner. Raw or stripped wood can also be waxed with furniture wax that has been tinted. One enhancement to waxes over raw wood is a drop or two of turpentine. This also works as does the paint thinner on beeswax finishes. Clear wax or more specifically, Microcrystalline wax can be purchsed by the pound. The wax is used by museums across the country. Any wax can also be bulked up with additions of the same fillers and fractions of paints and coatings including calcium carbonate and titanium Oxide all available by weight. A well known method of using unused shoe wax is still a viable "finish" Any of the waxes save the liquid and aerosols if a waxed look is to be a final finish over "chalk paint" especially if no prime coat has been applied and most especially if the prep is inadequate of not done at all. Chalk paint is at best even though charming due to it's non reflective look, it is a fragile finish for any substrate that will be subjected to wear, handling or misuse.

Cant beleieve my comment is the first one over here. Well, im looking for this effect to one of my wallsa, and your work is the best one out there. But I have a couple of questions, I dont know if you use two colours (because I only see one in the video). Or you use one dar colour (regular) and the other one light (cause of mixing it with the scumble glaze). Do you recommend me which brand for the scumble glaze acrylic? Thanks so much and keep up the good work.

What medallion did you use for it?

It looks great. Perhaps it would be easier, especially for beginners, if when applying the white to pull the drawer out so it cannot drip down the rest of a piece of furniture.

Great video Love the piece!

I know this is an old post but could you by any chance tell me where you got that raw wood pedestal from? Tia

Nice workshop and show some great techniques

awesome coloring page

Beautiful! Would the instructions be the same if piece has already been painted previously?

He said everything but not that we should read them again

Very nice! I don’t have much luck with the dark wax. It always comes out looking poopy. But I think I’ll try the white wash for sure.

Did you paint inside of doors and did u use the salt crust on inside of doors or just paint in green…great videos

I love easy projects that’s have beautiful results. This is easy and I can’t wait to do it. I love and use Annie Sloan products.

Beautiful

I think you meant to say “wipe off the excess” not access 😊

Trop beau

Do you have a video on chalk painting a hutch with Annie Sloan Versailles paint?

Beautiful demo!

Very helpful!

stunning

What a great video! You did a really good job of explaining how to achieve the look.

Where are you located. Maybe you should put your address and contact details on your you tube channel in the about TAB

Great tutorial. I love the various options you presented. Very helpful.

BEAUTIFUL!!!
