The past few days as I've been working on filling up that blank wall I talked about, I've discovered a quick and easy painting technique that I like.
You may remember how much I love the look of distressed white furniture with a black undercoat showing through.
Like the table I built and painted here . . .
It's such a lovely look but it takes some time and elbow grease to make it happen.
For my current projects I needed something quick and easy to produce the look that I love so much.
Along came dry brushing!
It's been years since I've used this technique. It's so effective I can't believe I haven't used it more often.
I get the look I like . . .
with a fraction of the work!
At this rate, my poor blank wall might be finished by the weekend. Yipeeee!
Hope you all have a great weekend

I can't wait to see what you are up to!
ReplyDeleteWell, I always like what you do so I can't wait to see what you're doing with your wall!
ReplyDeleteI've tried dry brushing a couple of times but I always end up with much darker areas in spots. Maybe you could give us some hints. :)
Have a great weekend!
Ooh, I do hope you'll share the details.

Ok, it looks like I'm going to have to do a quick tutorial. . . I'll get right on it (after I finish filling up my blank wall LOL)
ReplyDeleteI've never been pleased with my results. I need to try again at a distressed look. You have the look down.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good technique to give a distressed look. Can't wait to see what you're doing with your wall!
