I learned this technique from the turquoise iris so if you don t follow her chann.
Boho chalk paint techniques.
Annie used aubusson blue and avoided painting this on too thickly as the thicker it s painted on the harder it is to sand back later.
When painting the exposed wood on upholstered pieces use painter s tape and dropcloths to keep flecks and smears off the fabric.
This was my first time painting an ombré piece and i put a little boho twist on it.
I m painting this armoire boho style by layering paint with a putty knife.
I hope this inspires you to give this shading technique a try.
It was a fun process mixing the paint spraying and blending and i have to admit i m always thrilled when a new technique turns out like i hoped it would.
Annie began by applying her primer colour of chalk paint in giverny using a chalk paint brush to create texture.
This paint dripping effect is definitely more on the artistic and less inhibited side of the painted.
I m excited to share this easy ombré paint effect i used on this salvaged dresser.
