I watch tons of these paint technique videos. It's wonderfully refreshing to be guided by someone with dry humor and wit.You should consider doing the videos more often.

Great job Mr Amy Howard.

"A lot of people don't notice that because they're in the French Quarter doing something else." I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep my laughter from exploding. It's 3:15 A.M. here in Italy.My upstairs neighbors would have been very unhappy.

[@diycharlie7076]

Mr. Amy Howard, you did a fabulous tutorial! I love this look!

[@lourdesa6774]

Gene you are such a great sport! Mr. Amy Howard - I love it! I love this product - much more authentic looking than using sandpaper! Great tutorial! Thank you

[@jacqbonomolo2892]

I wish you would show how it’s done on a smooth surface. ☺️❤️

[@renamiller8555]

The French Quarter is a perfect spot for looking at antiquities.

[@dottiwatts8130]

Calif here love it ❤️

[@jacqbonomolo2892]

Great tutorial! I have just started a large iron ornate entry table. Wasn’t sure what to do after the second coat of linen. 😬 (AMY you have some competition 😉)

I've been thinking about adhering some sort of transfer to a couple of wooden doors on my entertainment center. I want slight cracking in certain areas of the entire unit plus smaller, finer cracks on the transfer area. How would I do that?

[@helenjackson4501]

if I often use a table made in this technique, how can I protect it with Varnish I can cover it?

[@deborahbagley5759]

How do you work by sections on a small table?

[@JulieMClark]

Could this be done one granite?

[@kristinekerr3688]

💜 nice closeups and great info!! Are Amy’s waxes water based? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. I know they have beeswax and carnuba wax but ....
