I love this series. Please keep zooming in to what she has in her hands or what she’s demonstrating. Thank you!

Love this series! Thank you for explaining the difference in using Old White vs Pure White when lightening a color.

[@upcyclearcade9757]

This is so simple, it's simply wonderful. Primer Red as a vintage pink! Who knew?

[@deboracontos834]

This is just another reason why I love you! You are an artist and teach us how to paint furniture as an artist would think. Determining color using values of the color. Also teaching us how color changes, or looks different, based on the light. Thank you Annie, you have the best KZbin series!

This particular exquisite red was used in 1700 BC for the frescoes in Santorini /Thira, in the Cyclades, Greece!

[@vickimontemayor3262]

I enjoy mixing my colors to make a new color and:or white to lighten my paint.

I painted a thrifted lamp Louis blue of course I added clear wax then white oh my gosh it felt like butter such a beautiful color what I like is a tiny amount goes along way

I love this series and buy all my paints through my stockist. I have been to a few stockists to get a copy of the book in this video and nobody has it. I went online and can’t find this color book. Can you share a link to where I can purchase one from? Any information you can provide would be great! Thank You!

#replay. Is the black color book available to purchase thru my stockist? I just love it!!

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Sharon, not officially, but it's worth asking your Stockist to see if they're able to get one for you!

[@sharonreyes1834]

@@AnnieSloanHome Thank you, I’ll reach out to my stockist..

[@raniapetridou470]

This is so useful, as I was contemplating to do exactly this! QUESTION: I have just had my house decorated with AS wall paint and have various small quantities ‘left-over’. Is still ok to mix them with AS chalk paint? 🎉

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Rania, we've never done it so we are unable to advise either way, but as they are both water based paints you can certainly give it a go! We won't be able to comment on the finish or longevity of it.

[@raniapetridou470]

@@AnnieSloanHome Thank you for this. Just to say that I have now tried it (Tilton + Original White wall paint), 3 to 1) and it works very well… As to longevity, I will keep you posted! 🌼

[@debbiegreen2414]

Hi. I’m getting ready to paint my kitchen cabinets. Is Annie Sloan a good chalk paint to use? Thank you.

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Debbie, yes! We have a video on this here: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/how-to-paint-your-kitchen-cabinets-with-chalk-paint/

[@user-nf7ww6fr5s]

Annie, what colour is the blue on the wall and what colour is that orange in your background? I would like to use them in my kitchen. I think about an orange table and blue walls. Unfortunately I can't guess the colours. Or maybe somebody else here can tell me that.

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Hi Robert, the walls are Wall Paint in Cambrian Blue, and the orange is Chalk Paint in Barcelona Orange.

[@koalabathnbody4748]

hi, can you use your paints for fabric printing?

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Love the paints but would really love to be able to buy 500 ml, The price of paint is high and if you only have a normal household there is a lot of left over I have discovered with a litre of tilton. Even if you then mix with white ,

[@AnnieSloanHome]

Thank you for your feedback Katherine! There's also 120ml if you wanted for a small project.
