How to create a Layered Paint Technique

By Debbie Daneel  011 958 2220

Steps:

1.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Clean your furniture piece with Thinners and Mutton Cloth Choose your colours - it's a good idea to work with 2 or 3 colours to

achieve a layered finish Now mix your different colours with the Polyfilla

Mix it really well until the paste is the same colour as your paint The Polyfilla will give the paint a little substance, and will make it easy to trowel on. Randomly smear your mix onto your table with the putty

knife Don't be careful. Just put it here, there and wherever Wait for each layer to dry, before applying the next layer When all are dry, sand with a 100 grit sand paper

If you want to add more colour, you can dry brush your chosen colour on the areas you want 10. Seal with a water based glaze.
