NEVER apologize for birds singing ... Your work is amazing you're gifted my friend 😘🇺🇸👏😉

[@kattiadonnelly7094]

The sound of birds is beautiful. Love your master piece.

[@jenniferchafin7260]

Crys’Dawna, you are the best! As far as I’m concerned 😊 You stay on the level that we can all follow. Please keep the videos coming, I love them!!!❤️

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so so much that really means so much!! Happy New Year!!!

[@kimberlythompson1835]

💙 the dresser, 💜 the colors, and 💚 the way you teach your techniques. 😃

[@GoogleUser-xl3vi]

Very very pretty! I love the colors and shining star is stunning! Thank you so much for doing these tutorials, they are super helpful and fun to watch! 💜💜

Beautiful just beautiful

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you! 😊

[@marilynmaccallum9206]

I’ve been on a KZbin marathon watching all the different techniques on blending and I have to tell you that you do the best job of blending of anyone I have seen yet. I don’t like to see a line and many times I can. Yours doesn’t show the lines! Your attention to detail is very unique. Thank you for doing the video, I have learned a tremendous amount about blending from you. 🇨🇦

[@BellaRenovare]

Wow, thank you! That is such a huge compliment! thank you so much!! I am so glad that I could be helpful ❤️❤️❤️

[@lollylolly8186]

You are a great teacher. I think people tend to use too much paint or too much water. It’s a process for each us to find our way but you gave easy to follow tips! Colours looked together. Thx👏

[@BellaRenovare]

Lolly Lolly thank you so muchhhh ❤️❤️

[@jacemattson7385]

CrysDawna, I'm a French speaking oil painter and I just wanted to tell you that ombre is pronounced ohmbre with a short e! An (h) hombre is a Mexican dude! I'm also an English major so it's in my dna! Please don't take offense. I absolutely love your channel. You inspire me!!

[@jenniferkennedy1701]

I know this video is 2 years old but I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job explaining, teaching & demonstrating blending in an easy way to understand without over complicating it! This is the best video I've watched (& I've watched a lot lol) on blending different colors & now I finally feel like I'm ready to do my coastal beachy kinda ombre ladder bookshelf project! Completely different colors (I'm using aqua, greige & off white (maybe teal too) - I think lol) but you did such a good job explaining I think I'll be good! Wish me luck lol 😉

[@MissTwitch1]

I am currently watching a lot of my favourite utube upcyclers and your technique tutorials are my favourite! You’ve given me the confidence to try blending. I’ll send a pic if it works out. 😊

[@daniellewilson3905]

It's a beautiful thing that you are sharing exactly how you got that wonderful blended look. I've been working on blending for a week or two and feeling like I have to rush. I was doing most of it the right way but now that I have seen your video, I can see that I've been adding too much water and messing things up. Thank you so much for really going through your whole process. I'll be in my shop playing again tomorrow with more confidence.

[@lisaroth7526]

Mermaid blended dresser = totally awesome! Love these colors and the blend. I especially liked how you pointed out that we don't have to blend line by line; that we can bring a color down further. Thanks, Teach!

[@BellaRenovare]

Lisa Roth it just adds character!!!! You are so welcome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kimfermo2404]

[@debolsen3294]

Love all those colors together! I need to try more with blending. I have only done one blended piece and it was with Lucky Lavender and Amethyst.

[@BellaRenovare]

Deb Olsen yes you do!!!! I know it’s tough for people so I am trying to do more blending videos ❤️

[@cmstrauss514]

Ok I love all your videos. Watched every one a dozen times you explain VERY well. So thank you. I really like how you show on this one that you can paint half of an area that has already dried and not need to go over the entire drawer again. I always thought you would see the paint line but I guess the key is patience and waiting. I swear I tried this before and it was super noticeable. Maybe there is differences amongst brands as to whether you can see or not? Or maybe I did not wait long enough 🤣. I have used your techniques for blending and it works great, except for one thing I’m having soooo much trouble with. It’s on the side, so I’ll go to that video to comment and if you can help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 that would be awesome. Again thanks for all of your tutorials 💖.

[@BellaRenovare]

Claire514 I will try to do one for sides :) I think that’s a problem spot for a lot of people, different brands blend differently the key is to go up just even a cm or two from the original line then blend there :) hopefully that makes sense I will make sure I address that alson

[@cmstrauss514]

Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna it does it makes sense. And I generally have no problem with this type of blending but yes I find larger areas super hard. I followed your video on ‘learn the art of blending’ (I just commented there) where you demonstrated on the side of a piece before. However, if you’d like to do more videos on larger surfaces, where outside edges are darker than middle, I wouldn’t mind!! Ha. The more the better, you’re a great teacher.

[@nadineconnors2008]

Such a pretty and happy piece! Beautiful blending!

Hi Bella, I tried to blend today and it was a disaster ( think my colours were the wrong choice) I’m new to painting and tried to do it like you lol You make it look so easy but it certainly isn’t, I will try again when I have lighter colours thanks for your videos love watching you have a wonderful talent x

[@BellaRenovare]

ooo no!!! okay maybe try with only two color that are very similar in color....check out this video it may help a little to show dow to really get the hang of it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/najGo5pjrNajo8U

Grazie mille ❤️❤️❤️

[@trehouse5793]

This is awesome!! But I have a question, can you blend still, if your furniture needs priming?

[@BellaRenovare]

Absolutely!! Do your primer. Then add your base coats over and blend away :) easy Peasy :)

[@komoriaimi]

Thanks for the class =)

[@DebbieDidIt]

Love your vids! Question: I am an artist using acrylic paints on furniture (not even close to this! its more funky and brightly colored designs)and would love to try this technique. So instead of me running out to get all these chalk colored paints, can I just use my acrylic paints and maybe a gel medium? Have you ever tried that?

[@paulahunter8066]

I'm wanting to do a peice of furniture such as u have this one. The only difference is I want to add pink into it. Can I do that or does that color not work at all with these colors?

[@jacemattson7385]

PS where do I get a mister bottle like yours?

[@priscillabynog9755]

‘M IN LOVE

[@robinmeares8019]

Where do you sell all these beautiful creations of yours? I've been searching everywhere I can think of but I am unable to find anything. I'm curious. thank you

[@charlseypopp1654]

what brand of brushes are you using please thanks

[@truthbetold7464]

Can you do this with gray scale paint with white?

[@BellaRenovare]

Allison Davis are you asking me to one you show or are you asking if you can do it? Because the answer is yes to both ❤️❤️❤️

[@crystalschussler1656]

I'm going to be doing a dresser with amethyst, the gulf, and mermaid tail. I was thinking of doing the gulf, then mermaid tail, then amethyst. What do you think?

[@crystalschussler1656]

What kind of top coat should I use?

[@Missy-Leigh]

When you say you wet it… are you adding wet paint or are you just dipping the brush in water?

[@BellaRenovare]

I use a mister bottle to keep moisture on the piece :)

[@donnacurry166]

Learning to blend and your videos are really helpful! About your sander...the link you have ... does it come with the vacuum set up or is that separate? Thank you. Love your work!

[@BellaRenovare]

Donna Curry thank you Donna!! So I put the set on the link because it comes with sanding pads and such otherwise you can just buy the sander but you have to get sanding pads and sand paper anyways so I just did it to make it easier ❤️❤️❤️

[@donnacurry166]

Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna so it comes with the vacuum? Thanks for the quick reply too!

[@BellaRenovare]

Donna Curry no it doesn’t come with the vaccum but all you need a a shop vac, I just used the one I already had :) usually if you buy the vaccum their customer service will contact you just to make sure you have everything or tell you what vaccum to get they are SUPERRR helpful!!! Also!! I have a coupon code for you- use BELLARENOVARE10 ❤️❤️

[@jenniehardin1911]

So gorgeous! I like to buy paint samples from the hardware store, do you think this technique will work with satin or eggshell paint or does it have to be chalk or flat paint to blend right? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@BellaRenovare]

Jennie Hardin you can try it :) generally latex type pint don’t blend quite as well but it’s not impossible and you could perfect it with practice :) You are welcome keep me posted 🧡🧡🧡

[@thekraftycreech]

lord almighty is this beautiful!!

[@elizabethcorbine3280]

I’ve watched this over and over Just can’t seem to get it

[@BellaRenovare]

o no :( I am sorry, maybe try with some colors that are even more close together in color?

[@bellab2125]

Omg Crys’Dawna I need your help please! I dont know what im doing wrong with blending but it always either all blends together to make one horrible color or its blended but the lines are a little hard. Isk what im doing wrong! I have separate brushes Like u said, mister bottle, towels to get paint off of neutral brush. Could I be using to much water? You made this look so easy!! Id appreciate any advice, thanks so much

[@bellab2125]

Also, I find it very hard when a piece has like a pictures frame type side. You know, like its set in further and has an edge all the way around? I dont know what to do there so it doesnt look messy

[@BellaRenovare]

hey there, it's possible. Walk away for now. Take a break and a deep breathe. You don't want to use too much water. are you just misting lightly?

[@bellab2125]

Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna I think I am. either I make one new color on the whole piece (that isnt blended lol) or it does blend but I cant get it to flow smoothly together. It looks splotchy. Girl u make this thing look too easy!

[@BellaRenovare]

How many pieces will you paint? And what size?

[@lisahalstead3784]

@@BellaRenovare dresser with a mirror, chest of drawers, nightstand and a small headboard.

[@lisahalstead3784]

I would say they are the same as your dresser and nightstand if not very close. The chest of drawers is close to the same size just vertical..... if that makes sense lol.

[@BellaRenovare]

@@lisahalstead3784 ahhh okay so just to be safe I would get a 32 Oz of each a little goes a long way but you want to make sure you have enough :) You can grab them all here 👇🏻👇🏻 dixiebellepaint.com?aff=119
