How to create an aged look using only paint

Around 12 months ago I started to explore ideas I'd had about painting techniques.

Until this point I'd been creating aged antique looks using chalk paint and waxes, but this was costly by the time I'd bought the paint, clear and coloured wax that was needed. 

Me being me, and with my background in process improvement, I thought there had to be another way. My thinking was this, if I could develop processes that created the same aged antique look, using only paint, it would be quicker, easier  and more affordable.

And that, is what I did!

For months I tested different paints and different processes, talked with paint manufacturers, then tested some more until I was happy with both the product and the process.

Now, you can create a beautiful aged antique look such as these ones below, and all you need is paint. 

You can learn this technique, along with three others, at my Furniture Paint 101 workshop, either online or face-to-face in New Zealand. 

I'd love to teach you how to create this beautiful effect using only paint. Like all of my students, you too will discover how easy it really is!

I hope to see you at a workshop soon!
