This is hands down the best video about crackle medium I've seen. Never would have thought to use gold as the base coat, but it looks fantastic (I'm having some thought with this about my Christmas cards). The directions of the cracks, translucent paints, using the stamp in the background. All of it. This Should be the first video people watch on crackling. Thanks so much for sharing, sorry it took me so long to find this.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial, Andy. I've used crackle medium quite a lot, but never with translucent paints. Lovely new ideas to try. More video tutorials please! For your wonderful faux finishes perhaps? Brilliant stuff! Thank you.
Thnx for the tutorial...I've been experimenting with this and really like it but wanted to crackle an old black and white photo and wasn't sure what to use so I could still see the photo..Now I know...Great job!!!
wonderful teaching video, I love the bottom of the first piece being named Georgia clay. The clay is that orange in my home state of GA. Wonderful video!
at 6.29 and ant 8.30 you are using a translucent color, but I cannot make out what the color is. Is this a DecoArt/Americana product? Love your videos and productions. Can't wait to take an online class from you. Thanks!
Great video! Was hoping for some tips for using this product on glass surfaces. Other than paint is there another top coat medium that woukd do as well?
Andy, at 5:45 did you use the weathered wood crackle medium on top of the text, then the translucent paint? (I did not see you apply the crackle medium.) I am just a little confused. I want to try all these techniques. Thank you so much for ALL your videos!
FANTASTIC VIDEO THANKS>>>>NOW i would love to know how i would apply this knowledge to a dresser . do i do small sections? a whole drawer? i hope you have time to answer
I did a dresser this way, I did a side at a time, and all the drawers together. It looked awesome. My friend's daughter HAD to have it, so I gave it to her for Christmas.
What would happen if you airbrush an acrylic on top of the weathered wood? Also what if the weathered wood is airbrushed itself? What about using pigments on the top layer, would the crackle effect be activated?
where do I buy those beautiful translucent paints? I don't see any links to products you are using. I am in the US. update: Nevermind, I think I found them. Are they DecoArt Americana Translucent Acrylic paints? Thank you for this video.

Interesting medium. What brand of Translucent Paint are you using? Where can it be purchased? Wonderful tutorial. Thank you.
Quinacridone gold, transparent red and yellow iron oxide.... I think :)
Great tutorial Andy, thank you, I saw where some asked if you could do this on canvas, but I never saw whether you answered that. Can you?
Hello!! this technique is amazing. Could apply them on glass?
Andy can you use this on decoupage ? Please answer :)
Great video! Was hoping for some tips for using this product on glass surfaces.
