HOW TO BLEND CHALK PAINT- Beginner's guide to blended finishes

Today I'm sharing 3 tips for blending chalk paint! I'll demonstrate my blending technique on a recent furniture piece I painted for a client. What tools do I need? What type of paint should I use? What colors work best? I'm answering these questions and reviewing Waverly brand chalk paint and brushes. If you like painting and flipping furniture for a profit, or just want to try this pretty technique for yourself, check out my 3 tips for a pro finish.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you. No one explained making mud color with such simplicity. Finally, I'm aware that I should not cross the color wheel. Thank you again.

You are very informative, alot of others just say the same ole’ same!!, you actually taught me alot of things and I am not a beginner by no means, you do great at explaining the why this happens or what will happen if you do this. And keeping it simple and to the point, nobody likes those long uninformative videos!!!, great job!!!

I learned something from Mr. Tie Dye. If you want complimentary colors next to one another put in a transition shade. So for red and green use yellow or blue. Put down the color and blend into it. When you load the brushes, one side will be blue and the other red. The other brush will be blue and green. A narrow band can make the transition color almost undetectable.

Hi Amy - I just requested your pricing worksheet to help me determine my pricing for my flips. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks for blending. I have a project now on a Bombay Chest and I'm in a little struggle with blending because it's my first. The colors I'm using are Waverly Lacquer and Ink....but here I see that you are using Crimson and Merlot. So I will switch Ink to Merlot. I think I can do this now with your detailed tips.
Much appreciation and thank you kindly. 😊

This was awesome information! Thank you so much!

Great video! I like that you rotate your brush. I remember learning that as you go across the color wheel to see it as getting grayer- past the middle you may see more of the opposite color. That has always helped me when I gray down a color.

Hi Amy, I serendipitously came across your video just as I was starting my first blended piece. It was also Waverly red, but thought I would use black as my darker shade until it just turned the red brown. Using the merlot worked way better. Had to make my own as Waverly Merlot was sold out. Your video really helped! Thank you!
