Creating a look of faded grandeur using Annie Sloan White Wax

[@TheLindaLWeeks]

the white wax makes the piece looks as if it came from an old english garden, like statuary aging for long long time🥀🌻

[@vekolrestoration2472]

Really love your work and now I’m binge watching your KZbin video’s.

[@katharineholl3792]

I am always so amazed warching your videos and seeing your magical use of paint and brush to create such breathtaking effects. Tihis is a lovely finish with the white wax that softens the paint and gives a romantic feeling. I would not have imagined the outcome of using a dash of red in the glaze but your vision and intuitiveness is always spot on. Your videos offer me so much inspiration and good feelings, I can not thank you enough, as they bring me such joy and relief. Your work is always outstanding and I marvel each time how 17:26 your artful eye creates such amazing beauty. I can't stop watching so please keep these in production for all of us to enjoy and learn from.

[@tinamcivor2996]

I love that you filmed outdoors with all the birdsongs! Lovely transformation!

[@susie-2307]

Gosh....so fantastic...I thought to begin the project it really didn't need anything either. Looks so fantastic. I have pieces i just don't have a vision for. This gives me courage...and inspiration . As always....sooo good what is in your brain. Thank u.

[@supportersfortravis4554]

YOU, Sir Mendes, are a magician! Amazing work and you make me feel like MAYBE I could do that too!

[@lorideback8063]

Just love the blended colors on this!❤

[@beecharmer31326]

Jonathan absolutely love the technique you just gave on that piece of furniture where you shadowed it and then brought back some of the original paint to it it is beautiful I would never have thought to do that you're teaching so much and we're learning a lot! Please please please make your videos longer we want to see an hour at least in each video LOL seriously may your blessings overtake you!

[@zonyasvintage7859]

In the end it turned out very beautiful! The paint color combinations was key to the final look. That piece is gorgeous with the shape and details!

[@valeriekane615]

Just perfect soooo amazing. Thank you Jonathon, love Val

[@cindy52h]

I just love your work! My husband is over in your country now, maybe I should have gone too, instead I am watching you on you tube while I work on his dresser/Christmas gift. Thank you for sharing.

[@sutchristine]

This is gorgeous. You clever man you! X

[@lilmagggie]

Honestly one of the best videos that I have watched. Your slow relaxing method was just beautiful. Thanks.

[@margerykirner5604]

That is just beautiful! One of my favourites

[@luluperezfacio9236]

That really came out beautiful! Love the white wax.

[@Sally-nz8bn]

Thank you for the video. I am happy that you are now on You Tube, and not only on Facebook. The problem is that on both Facebook and You Tube is hearing what you are saying, even though the background music is soft.

[@wendyjcphotography]

absolutely blown away at the effects achieved with some knowledge but somewhat confused at the amount of types of paint. a great tutorial thank you as I have several items this will suit and now need to assess my original choice of paint brand :)

[@linus0804]

Love your inspiring choices!

[@joannecupid6638]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@pammcvey7284]

I can't wait to try this. Love, love, love it.

Interesting technique. Thanks for the instructions.

[@karengreen5599]

Love this - I'm sold on you and your channel!

[@romanticone23]

Beautiful as always Jonathon! I love the white wax too, I just did a beautiful old chair using a combination of the scandinavian pink, primer red and a bit of China red mixed to make a "berry" red. Then white wax, I love it! and the client did also! Also looks great over the napoleonic blue!!

[@jackiegodbout3606]

Beautiful! So is all your work! Thanks for your in depth tutorials! Always enjoy the background music, the garden.... Must try this stunning " faded grandeur look"

[@kelleneellexson1962]

Very cool!!

[@Divandorssen]

Beautiful!!!!

[@jennshinaberger]

I really enjoyed this video. The setting is quite beautiful. I just discovered the white was a few weeks so it's nice to see a demonstration as it seems a relatively new product. Your video combined lots of different techniques color washing, wet distressing, color mixing and applying the white wax. Well done!

[@jancyiravi]

Very nice

[@corrinemoore4804]

[@joannecupid6638]

Jonathan, I wish I was as brave as you , every time I try to do a piece one or more of my family members say how awful it is, so it’s knocked my confidence big time , I wish I you living close by I would love your opinion

[@AdamGoforth]

Great video! Love the 'new yankee workshop' feel to this :D

[@annecharriere9102]

Great job!

[@Sally-nz8bn]

This is great information, but once again, the sound of the music and birds over power your voice. This is true of all your videos.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Hi Louie this was filmed on the iPad in the garden a long time ago. I'm pleased to say the quality of my online tutorials in the Painted Love Academy is spotless. Have you tried it? There are 2 free tutorials on Marble and One Brush Blend if you'd like to see the quality.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Happily not the new professionally filmed and edited ones in the Painted Love Academy.

[@theempress8947]

This is an old video but im going to reply anyway because the garden and the bird sounds in this vid were really beautiful...

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

That's so kind thank you. It was the early days and I am a lot more professional now. Appreciate you taking the time to say x

[@lynnesnowball1921]

Your work is amazing .. I can’t wait to try this 💕

[@mariajosecosta299]

Muito lindo .

[@joywhitmore6975]

loved this video as I do all of them, I may have to try doing something with a nice colour other than white, I struggled a bit to hear you over the music Jonathon, sorry to say :)

[@marionlowings5977]

i please need to see how you apply black wax to graphite...

[@wackygoose]

really Nice!!! 😄 😄 👏

[@lr5771]

Great effect- love it. -will try this technique - I too couldn't hear, but resolved it by using haedphones. The panelled wall behind looks great- how did you do that? Did you make the wall or was it existing and how did you paint it?

[@gardenknitter4]

A wonderful video and a technique I definitely want to try. I'm trying to understand the use of Burgundy in the paint mix-how did you come to choose this color rather than a blue or a purple or an orange? Does it have to do with red being on the opposite side of the color wheel of green?

[@Funnellyenough]

Great look I'd like to copy❣ Sound is a problem though Jonathan sorry 😕

[@annadilorenzo4238]

Hi, before the white wax you covered that transparent? Beautiful work

[@madaspence4311]

[@lalalemon4985]

i LOVE this. i am trying to decide the best finish for an antique maple cedar lined Huppe trunk. the wood is dark, would this still look ok? also can dark wax be mixed with paint to change color or should the two not be mmixed? tia

[@angelaberni8873]

Magnificent as all of your work is !!! Please please,lets see more BUT eliminate music completely and improve audio as on full volume it's always difficult to hear you,thanks. You are truly gifted Jonathan and by far the very best !! Hat's off to you !!!

Another one great tutorial! But I struggled a bit to hear you over the music. Anyway, thank you again!

[@patticlarke7062]

not loud enough

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Sorry - see above.

[@taz1357]

Great video. If there is a chance of you using a microphone while you are demonstrating, that would be fantastic. It is difficult to hear you. Thanks, sir!

[@kathrynstewart-mcdonald]

He white waxed the detailing, I have an ivory piece similar to this but want the raised details and creases to be blue with the remaining flat surfaces ivory, How to do? I can't find and detailing on You tube which is a color, all of my backgrounds ivory how to make blue pop out and maintain the ivory?

[@cherylberry1613]

I noticed you left the wax in the crevices of the details quite heavy. It is ok to do that?

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Yes it will harden the wax over time full curing time is usually about 21 days but it does dry literally within a couple 😊

[@gayleenfrye9027]

Love the video. Question on waxing, Do you not buff the wax? And the wax left thicker will harden?

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Depends on the effect you want. I do sometimes buff and try not apply too much.

[@nylanelson8660]

The two colors you put together were ugly & I thought you must be mad to use them but in the end they dried to be colors that blended. You definitely have an very creative Artist eye & good at putting the right colors together. The piece looks very aged & antique & I love what appears to be bits of gold on it or is it the original color underneath that can through with wet destressing?

[@pelicanseaweed5818]

1st time that I saw wet distressing - very interesting and thanks. A couple of questions that I hope you will answer - could you have used coco as your 2nd paint rather than mixing up the three other colours? And would the effect have been different if you used white wax over clear wax?

[@ratanashifu]

Forty years ago a French painter showed me how he distressed cabinet doors by, still wet, waxing them with simple colourless beeswax.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

That sounds like an awesome technique 😊

[@josimpson6038]

Loved what you did (first time viewer of your channel). But sound quality was poor - one moment it was OK, then the volume dropped out and was rather distracting as a result.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Hi Jo as you might have gathered this was from very early days when I was just filming in the garden. My Painted Love Academy now featured 12 video tutorials filmed in HD. If you look at the faux ironwork one here on You Tube you will get an idea of the quality. Plus there are a further 2 free ones if you sign up. Hope that's of interest x

[@michelleforbes7520]

Great video. Shame the sound is so poor.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Hi Michelle, I know, it's when I just started out in the garden. Take a look at the latest one to get an idea of the quality of videos today in my Painted Love Academy.

[@wandakowalski7063]

Loved this video: the birds were nice but maybe what’s not needed is the lovely, but too loud, piano in the background. Three layers of sound is difficult to listen to. But the content of the video is fantastic. Thanks

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Sorry about that - as I;ve said before this was very early days. All my tutorials in my Painted Love Academy are filmed by pro videographers and I wear a mic so it's a lot more like a TV show and the reviews are very excellent. e.g. "I know you hear this loads but I just love the way you teach - you are just to practical and logical and passionate and as a result I just totally ‘get it’" Thanks for your feedback, will see if I can tweak these old ones somehow.

[@yureituesday]

Can’t hear a word sorry bye

[@iswhatitiskiddo5155]

Your music is overpowering your voice. You can hardly be heard.

Sorry about that, this was when I was just starting out. You'll find my professionally filmed tutorials in the Painted Love Academy are much better. There is one specifically on Faded Grandeur technique if you're interested.
