I am new to faux finishing and would like to paint a dresser using an antique crackle finish technique. Would appreciate instructions and product recommendations. Thank you. |

I am painting a mural on a kitchen wall in my office. I painted the entire wall an acrylic base (off white). My mural will only take up the middle of the wall. Can I apply the gesso (to prime for the mural) over the new acrylic paint or do I have to sand that area first? |

Help! I've just repainted my bathroom a tan-medium brown color.

I am interested in colorwashing walls. I picked up a book on paint techniques and they suggest mixing 50% wallpaper paste with 50% latex paint to create a glaze which dries slower than paint diluted with water.

Hi, I am currently preparing to create a children's mural using the gridding technique in order to transfer the images to the wall, however, I am a bit confused about the order in which I should paint it once I am ready to?

It seems that whether I choose to paint the background first and the images last or vice versa, I run into ...... read more |
