How to do a dry-brush technique with chalk type paint

Watch Amanda use a dry brush technique with chalk type paint.
Disclaimer 2/13/19 Suite Pieces no longer is a Chalk Paint stockist. We now carry Jolie Matte Finish Paint that will behave the same way this technique video demonstrates.

Um, am I the only man that digs this stuff????!?!!??? I mean, I got up this morning, shaved my scruff, chopped some firewood, got beat up bull riding come home and start dry brushing my kitchen cabinets!!! And find that's the best part of my day!!!!!!!

Nice ...! I'm enjoying the new beginnings of learning to do my own stuff 😊👍😊

Thank you so much for this video! I used this technique with the same colors at a Board & Brush class and it turned out great!

[@msmith4701]

Excellent video! You showed us examples of dry brushed objects. You explained every step and not in Evelynn Seed reading style! Thanks.

Love what you do Amanda. Inspiring! I’m in the UK so can’t pop and see you but I would! I’ll have a go at this technique and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jay! If you are ever in the US, we'd LOVE to have you!

Great tutorial & LOVE your finished look--the Duck Egg really sets it off. My question/concern is how to best preserve the finish on a heavily used surface (i.e. tabletop). Would you use a dark or light wax on your piece? Or a high performance top coat? Or some combination of those? Thanks for your insight & A++ video!

Hi Amanda, excited about this video, I have some old wooden shutters that have been painted white, can I use dry brush on them to make them look older , a little hesitant to get started 🤗😆

[@SuitePieces]

Yes & get started!! You won't be disappointed! ; )

Whats the difference between a glob and a globbie ....do you sell more stuff after the wonderfully skilled masses try it

[@NDW1955]

Great video. Very helpful.

What a fabulous job you have Amanda, getting to play and create all day long. I just tried to get this effect on a lovely grainy shelf, but watered down my paint rather than dry brushing, then wiped with a cloth. I was scared the paint would be too uneven, so your tips help, but also, seeing the effects from using a combination of different colours means now I’m going at it again - how daring am I! Ha. 😄
