Hi, If you recommend just adding water and universal tints or artist's pigments to glazing medium, will the glaze ever DRY? I was told that you need the binders present in latex paint in order to have the glaze dry. Please explain ASAP Thanks, Barb |

I have an inexpensive hand-me-down desk that was painted black, then covered with 2 coats of varnish. I THINK the varnish is a semi-gloss oilbase, but I don't know for sure what materials were used. I want to repaint the desk, possibly antiquing or color-washing. I've read your Q&A's and am thinking I need to prep by lightly sanding and then applying an oil-base primer and use an oil base finish paint? I prefer working with latex, b...... read more |

Hello- I want to stain my pine bedroom furniture very dark, like indonesian/asian style as I am sick of the pine look. I have already started on one piece. It has been stripped and sanded. I applied 2 coats of dark walnut oil based miniwax to one side to test and it does not seem to get very dark. What is the best way to cover up the pine and achieve a darker effect? I read the post about the ebony stain, should I try that to? Thanks |

I need some advice on how to paint my new "beadboard" paneling. I want an old fashioned look and I'm thinking of the weathered look shown on this site. Not too rustic -- sort of "well-kept old".

Why the computer colors are being mixed with red, blue and green? Your site says basic colors are red, blue and yellow. If you look at paintbrush or anywhere else in PC graphic, it all has green instead of yellow, why is that? |

A friend of mine has asked me to paint some artwork on the back of a chair she has purchased. She says that the back of the chair is leather. My question is: to paint artwork (emblem/seal, in my case) on leather, how does one prepare it, what kind of paints work on leather, and how does one seal it? Thanks in advance |
