Quick Tips: Creating a Two-Colour Wash Effect with Chalk Paint™

In this video, Katrina shows you how to create a two-colour wash effect with Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan.

This is a beautiful technique for achieving a washed finish over your base colour. Make sure you have a solid base coat first (two coats is best), and give it a good long time to dry (an hour or more) before doing your wash.

In this video, we're using Annie Sloan's Provence as our base, and Pure White for the wash. We prefer a flat, natural bristle brush, and are using a Madeline 2" brush.

Once you're done perfecting your wash, here's some Quick Tip videos for waxing your masterpiece:

Exactly what I was looking for, BUT... how do you continue the effect onto the larger surface areas like the top or sides of a nightstand?? :( HELP
