Create a rustic finish with Frottage: Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint® technique

[@t.t.9081]

Love how she whispers ‘Very Exciting’ just b4 starting in with the blue…I feel she’s my kindred spirit with her excitement over paint. 😊

[@joburrow9863]

I just have to thank you Annie for the paint and everything that goes with it. Thanks for the techniques we’ve gleaned from you. Thanks for showing us that ANYTHING is possible with this paint, and that what we think may be a mistake, is like Bob Ross used to call “happy little accidents”. I had the privilege of meeting you in Knoxville,TN, USA, and I just loved your sweet easy manner. I buy all my products from “Three Paint Girls” in Greensboro, NC. They are wonderful, and I love them. Thanks again Annie Sloan for changing my life, forever. Jo Burrow, NC, USA.

Thank you for your wonderful reply and Stockist shout out! Always embrace the happy accidents

[@lori_bain]

I think this might be the most excited I've seen you in ages! Love this for you!

[@gigidtx]

Love the colors, so fresh together. and when Annie Sloan says "don't panic" I know everything will look amazing and it does 🥰

[@lisastandiford9303]

Thank you! I love watching your videos. You weren't satisfied and admitted it and talked about it. So many painters will edit their mistakes out and not talk about them. It's so nice when we get to see the actual truth behind a finished piece. So thank you! Love your work and all those that work with you. All such great people.

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Thank you so much!

[@yasmingreger6653]

Oh Annie that was so very nice seeing you make this cupboard. It looks fantastic,I could just take it out of your hands. And it looks so easy to do. But you explain it so good, and you have a very nice voice so calm. I am going to test it out. Thanks for sharing, stay healthy and God bless.

[@sophiachristo7546]

You are Amazing! Gorgeous door! The technique is awesome! I am going to try it on a jewelry box! Thanks so much for sharing! Your instructions are precious!

[@doratiznado1]

Gorgeous!!! What a fantastic technique Annie. Love also the chair. Thanks

[@julienolan5271]

I think it's absolutely heavenly. Thanks for sharing your brilliance.

[@christinechapleau1275]

Love the technique. Looking forward to trying it myself!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@hempseedaddict]

Aces! Annie is king!

[@donnastjules8157]

I love this new series. I haven't seen any videos on utube from Annie herself in a long time! And I would love to see some videos with Felix showing techniques too. He is very talented and has learned a lot from his mom

[@espyperez5734]

The piece of furniture came out really nice, I like the combination of colors! And the chair is beautiful!!😍

[@martinelestage8877]

I've been wanting to try this technique for a long time! I think I will try it soon! Thanks for all the details in this video! 🙂

[@Dette1993]

Absolutely Fabulous. I love your work.

[@kimberlyellis4546]

Looks amazing Annie!

[@evelyncm6860]

Hi Annie, So happy with your products. I live in Peru, but I am an American. While here in Florida for my health I got hooked on furniture painting. I´ve saved 3 pieces and I am thrilled. I´ve purchased many products from many of the distributors here. The truth I´m taking 5 luggage home!!! Do you ship to PERU !!!???????

[@gerodeo]

I love the happy accident but, it’s actually my fave part of the cupboard door.😍thanks for leaving in the “mishap” and showing how to work around it. That’s very reassuring.

[@pattil7947]

Lovely! TY!❤️👍👋🥰

[@shirleyjohnson3397]

I love this tutorial and it's more gorgeous everytime i watch it. ThankU Annie!

[@judybarrett2697]

One word Amazing

[@AuntDu310]

Just stunning 😍 I have many pieces of furniture that need a bit of Annie added to them. I will be attempting this technique, lets hope it turns out as beautiful as yours. Thank you for sharing your talent ♡

[@christinafebbroriello5572]

This technique is gorgeous and I can't wait to try it! I adore you, Annie Sloan, and your videos :) You teach people to go with the flow and that things don't need to be perfect. I also love that you show real life "mistakes" and how to either correct them or...go with the flow! Thank you.

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Thank you so much!

[@stevenwills6931]

I LOVE 'frottage' - I must get back into doing it again and your wonderful video has inspired me. Thank you !

[@rebrokersabrina]

I love that you don’t have to sand it! Beautiful!

[@sallysmallwood4859]

Love the colour palette. Thank you for showing how the unexpected is all part of the process-even for seasoned artists like yourself!🖌🖌🖌

[@softlanding138]

You are so great! Thank you for all the fun!

[@trotting-along-thrifting]

Beautiful 😍

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

I love it. It's gorgeous 😍

[@kathleenkirby7700]

You do Beautiful work! I love the distressed look! I did that myself .. w/a chair I found. That someone had taken out to the trash. It was in good shape. I distressed it .. mauve & white. Then .. hand carved a design all over the chair. It turned out .. professional looking. I love the technique & look .. w/newspaper! Looks Vintage .. Primitive .. Antique 🩷

[@DIYKarin]

Great inspiration Annie. Thank you

[@judyinthevines]

Thanks Annie, I have some pieces of furniture I’m going to experiment with! 😊

[@gabrielle9298]

Usefull technique, would make great backdrop for decoupage and take some of the work and time out of blending and embedding the decoupage .Thanks for inspiration😃

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Yes, would look amazing with decoupage!

[@TheDoozerDo]

I love it; my kind of project fast with really interesting results. I may try this on my door. Wonderful idea.

[@dwana3292]

[@cathyphegley7414]

Beautiful…every which way and all over!

[@nfender3436]

Really stunning! Love this. Thank you for sharing

[@maddyf8398]

Love the cupboard, I can see it in my home with some Scandinavian folk art hearts, stars, and flowers a la Carl Larsson or Peter Hunt. Love the graphite box look took. This is an inspiration for a Cream bookshelf I painted that needs a little something else.

[@gaypautz128]

Beautiful, love it

[@flaneuze]

Merci pour ce partage ♥♥♥ très inspirant

[@boutyquechristine6537]

I love that technique 😍

[@lowcountryloft8105]

I'm going to try this, I love it.

[@kellycal124]

Feels good to hear thee Annie Sloan say “Oops!” 😄

[@marinahoffstrom360]

Awesome! Thanks! You gave me some ideas! 😁

[@Darci3333]

Love Annie Sloan❤❤❤❤

[@cherylatkinson9083]

I love this look. I hope I can do this.

[@karellarsen939]

Hi I just found your channel tonight. So happy I did. I’ve heard a lot about your paint, but this is a first to see some of your work!! I absolutely love it. Thank you for giving us a lesson ❣️😊❣️

[@glorialauder1927]

So beautiful

[@sistersarann3819]

Inspiration :) thank you :)

[@kaliissouledout4jesus928]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you

[@trinapatterson8872]

Love it…. Looks gorgeous

[@zonyasvintage7859]

It really is fantastic! I’ve never seen anything quite like that. I’m actually really into those tall narrow rustic cabinets right now but they are hard to find. I will be trying that!!

[@kimchamberlain1108]

Gorgeous 💙💜

[@traceyallen8286]

I love this. Is there a 'formula' for choosing colours that go together? I'm hoping to end up with a muted green piece.

[@gerodeo]

I love this ! Great tutorial

[@ElleFurniture]

Great tutorial ❤️

[@lauracarelli3531]

Effetti con molto fascino!!😍😍 più che frottage lo definirei una nuova versione di tecniche di decorazione antiche come spugnatura o cenciatura, "cenci"=stracci in italiano antico o in dialetto toscano🙃 e anche la sedia fantasticaaa!!!

[@sylviebris9984]

Magnifique

[@t.t.9081]

I’d like to see that piece that showed for a moment to the right of the screen. It looked like it was neutral tones , greys maybe with a floral type painting on it. Love this piece just finished. Like to do a wall like this.

[@bruceagneberg5824]

Love your statement that “thinking is over rated”!!

[@sonyabramlage1766]

I need to paint a dark piece of furniture cream first. Should I wax it (the cream base ) before I start the first layer of frottage?

[@christinewood7643]

Hi Annie. What do you do about the print coming off

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hello, do you mean the print from the newspaper? It doesn't come off on the paint, but you could use any kind of paper if you were worried: a thick tissue paper would work, or brown wrapping paper. Something with absorbency. Hope this helps!

[@pennywollett3953]

As an artist my eye always looks for shapes in abstract form and I can not help noticing the face in this door....lol! Love Annie, I have a book she wrote on furniture painting before she had started her paint line.

[@floramcplant129]

Gorgeous. Did you wait for the first layer of wax to dry or just apply the blue immediately?

[@christinewood7643]

Good question

[@marybethblackley7160]

Instead of using water, try adding paint to extender. Then apply the 2nd color all at once, them paper it off. This allows more open time and you don't have to worry about lines. Then repeat with the 3rd color.

[@tracyfrost]

I love it

[@maggiegallagher2553]

Love everything here. One question. Is there something to use instead of newspaper? Have not had one around here for quite sometime

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hello Maggie! A tissue paper with no wax coating works well, or any absorbent paper that you can wrinkle up and smooth out well.

[@cyndieevans5628]

i have rolls of brown craft paper.. i was thinking that might work..

[@velmacoffey3763]

My husband is in assisted living. He gets his paper delivery there now. I steal his newspapers when he is done!

[@fchendrix7960]

Beautiful! Thanks for the demonstration.

[@glorialauder1927]

Luv it

[@IMOO1896]

I wondered if the yellow base would be lost, but it does give a ghostly image to the pink

[@lindz916]

This is BEAUTIFUL! I’m so glad to see that accidental area that happened because it has happened to me, and I definitely got way too focused on that area without stepping back to look at the big picture! I definitely wish I had just let it go! I’m trying to teach myself to do that! Thank you for all you teach!

[@AnnieSloanHome]

It happens! Just have to remember to step back and look at the whole piece

[@marybethblackley7160]

Also...I was a decorative wall painter for 35 years...most techniques one uses on a wall can be applied to furniture.

[@lesmeyer318]

I have been doing this for years. Use a waded up paper or roll a rag.

[@zuzunakosj720]

Only in wood furniture?metal table?

[@stormcloud7137]

I'd like to try this on an entire wall.

[@everso2151]

Yikes! I was a bit shocked there! 😂

[@miccisampery-slate3232]

😍

[@adrianaavano8568]

Vorrei sentirlo in italiano grazie

[@susanquinlan7426]

Frottage, is the states is a term used referring to someone rubbing up against you in unwanted sexual manner. sexual to them anyway. People who engage in this practice are said to be rather serious perps.

[@pennywollett3953]

Your right, I had to google that!!

[@GreenWitch1]

Not to my liking, but internet technique. I want to try that one my next piece.

[@paulacunniffe4123]

It also means.... the practice of touching or rubbing against the clothed body of another person in a crowd as a means of obtaining sexual gratification.

[@katewade9992]

So this is the actual AS who sells quarts of chalk paint for $50 to stay at home housewives?

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Frottage... Hey, i had a nasty old uncle who did that to me when I was a kid ...
