- Pomaluj marmur farbą Chalk Paint™ w wybranym kolorze przy pomocy Pędzla Chalk Paint™. Annie wybrała tu kolor Paris Grey. Pierwszą warstwę nałożyła dość cienko, poruszając pędzlem we wszystkich kierunkach.
- Pozostaw do wyschnięcia na kilka godzin.
- Nałóż drugą, również stosunkowo cienką warstwę farby Chalk Paint™. Maluj w sposób delikatny, „głaskając” powierzchnię pędzlem, aby uzyskać gładkie wykończenie. Efekt ten można także osiągnąć, stosując płaskie pędzle Annie Sloan.
- *Opcjonalnie: Jeśli chcesz stworzyć niezwykle gładkie wykończenie, po wyschnięciu możesz przeszlifować farbę przy pomocy gąbek ściernych Annie Sloan o drobnej ziarnistości.
- Po wyschnięciu nałóż wosk w ten sam sposób, w jaki jest on nakładany na każdy inny mebel, używając bezbarwnego wosku Chalk Paint™ Wax i Pędzla do wosku Chalk Paint™.
So I’m going to paint this marble top table. It’s the same technique as I would use if it was a laminate because it’s a little bit shiny and not really absorbent.
So I’m going to choose Paris Grey because it goes nicely with Aubusson. I’ve already had it open for a little while so I’m going to add just a little bit of water because it’s just a little tiny bit thick and it’s got to flow easily and well. And now it feels nice and smooth.
I’m just going to paint it all over and this first coat is going to be quite thin, and I’m going for it. I’m not again doing this or doing it all in one direction, I’m going every which way – every direction – and covering all over. You can see that it’s going to cover very, very easily but I don’t want one thick coat. It’s much better to have two thin coats on something like this. I’ll leave that now to dry. I’ll leave it for a couple of hours and then I’ll give it a second coat.
So I’m ready now to do a second coat. Little bits are missing, it’s uneven but that’s exactly as I would have expected it to be. But I’ll just add a little bit more water because I want it to flow really, really nicely and smoothly.
I’m now going to sort of feather it out slightly. Instead of painting quite so much like that, you see the brush mark like that. I’m going to do that but then smooth it out and using the top tip of the brush. If I want it very smooth when I’ve done all this, what I’ll then do is sand it very, very, very lightly.
If you wanted to you could use the flat brush to do very similar technique and that would easily get you the smooth finish. I’ve painted this marble because the color didn’t work it was very orange and it really didn’t go in my room. So I wanted to paint it. I know there are some beautiful marbles I’d never want to paint. It’s personal preference. If you want to paint it; paint it!
So that’s it I finished doing the painting, of course as normal I will wax it because that’s part of the whole process. But this was just to show you how you would paint some marble.
