The Turquoise Iris - Creating a Layered Paint Finish

[@cindyd2236]

Great tutorial... i think i could do that from your instructions and it turned out beautifully. Your kind spirit shines through as well. Thank you & keep going!

[@palaciostexasbeauty2872]

Like tutorials that you go straight to the point and not too much distraction with chit chat, appreciate that.

[@ivetteflorenzan4992]

I’ve only seen your latest videos and I’m so happy to see how much you have succeeded!

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Thank you so much!!

It's beautiful, thank you!

Brandy from Brushed with Brandy mentioned you when she was doing the vinegar drip style painting. So just wanted to let you know that she gave a shout out to you.Thanks for your tutorial. I'm new to furniture painting and only have dixie belle so far.

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Oh thank you! I appreciate her!!

[@rhondakeller2592]

I love the way that turned out. I like the simplicity of how you blended the colors and I love how the black wax worked for you with this color. Using black wax is always so scary but this was spectacular.

[@dinaharris6252]

I loved your first tutorial !! I love the DIY line and your instruction was wonderful ! Would love to see how the entire piece came out !! I’m sure it’s gorgeous!!!

[@airizarry12]

Loved it Dionne, thank you for sharing, can you post a pic of the completed piece, I would love to see it.

[@pinkwillowmarket]

Did I hear you right? This is the first video ever! Dionne your a natural teacher. I'm blown away not only by the way you paint, but also by your humbleness, kindness, and heart. The first video I ever watched of you was the first Friday Night live with Q a year ago. I watched amazed & speechless as you blended paint into a sunset on the dresser. Now I joined your CC group and I'm looking forward to finding my own style. Your a true inspiration!!! Thank you!

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Pink Willow Market yes, this was my first tutorial ☺️ thank you 😘😘

[@sfcucci]

Loved learning your blending technique that was what I was anticipating for this tutorial. One suggestion: I would have loved to see all of what you did w the wax, not just the completed look. Paint on!!!

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Thank you, Sheila!! I'll keep that in mind.🙂

[@pineappledoom7177]

Nice Dionne, can’t wait to see more ! Thanks for sharing. I Tried to make a tutorial video that was a disaster some people don’t realise how hard it is and the amount of work behind the scenes. Keep showing us nice furniture 👍🏾

[@teganique2250]

I love blue as much as you!

[@lyndabergmanhome]

Really enjoyed your tutorial on blending. I could hear you just fine. Will purchase more of your tutorials. Thanks!

It must be nice weather where u r. It’s very cold here in the ATL. Can’t wait to see the finished project. It looks amazing and it’s not even finished. Stay warm! ☀️

[@sarahnorris2185]

Beautiful job

Will be trying this technique myself 👍😀

[@caroann]

Sooooo BEAUTIFUL!

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Carolyn Bohler thank you!!!

[@crowned.king.immortal]

have you considered trying Dorland's Wax Medium, it can be mixed with paint, micas, powdered pigments, heated and dries hard. It is actually an encaustic medium but much like what you are using but hardens to protective surface, a museum quality and is reasonably priced.

[@bonniemuellenmeister6121]

Love everything I have seen from you. This helped alot. My problem seems to be "what" colors work well together. Maybe I need a "color" lesson.

[@Shadowsdreamatnight]

Dionne, MUCH BETTER. You are such a pretty girl and don’t need all the animations for making a great video. Good job and not time consuming to watch. 👍

[@user-hh3mc7qi1x]

This is amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@florence1334]

great tutorial.

[@lindalawson2831]

Love everything!! But how do you protect your work? Is the wax enough protection?? Is there a light varnish?? That is my question, otherwise beautiful, beautiful, beautifully done!!

[@stephcrockmore9727]

OK I am the most beginner of beginners... so don’t laugh if this is a beyond ridiculous question. I have a kitchen table that looks like it has some kind of veneer on top of it. It doesn’t look like you sanded that piece of furniture beforehand. Would I need to sand my kitchen table first or can I just pain it as it is?

[@reneataylor9403]

What did you do after the black wax ? Since you didn’t wax all of it in black. Did you wax the whole thing in clear or no wax after the black?

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

I only applied the black in areas...not the entire piece. I covered the rest of the paint in the clear wax.

[@NovaGraphics2C]

Is the DIY wax water or oil based?

[@gypsytreasures3856]

No clear wax first? Its going to cover up your lighter color

[@dennisbrown2389]

What grade sandpaper?

[@suetyson1650]

Where are the paint colors listed

[@mahayoussef464]

Where are you ... it has been long time that you did not make videos?? Hope everything is OK 😍😍😍

[@judiyoung3767]

hi Dionne! what flat brush is that dear? 🐵

[@EveryOtherDayWoodWor]

Great technique, but the voice is very low or soft. Hard to understand your instructions while you're not speaking at the camera.

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

I'll keep that in mind! Thank you.😊

[@ginnybacigalupi7248]

The sound quality is bad. I had my speakers all the way up. I tried watching with the captions - but they didn't always make sense.
