Brief instruction
Before you paint furniture in the style of Provence, you need to collect a set of such tools:
- paint and brushes;
- steel wool for polishing furniture;
- rags.
We will study the stages of furniture painting using the example of a wooden chest of drawers.
This process will be performed in several stages:
- Wood processing with sandpaper. To paint lightly on the chest of drawers evenly and in time do not start lashing it is necessary to treat it with a sandpaper. First you can use sandpaper with a large grain, and then with a small one.
- Chest painting. Since the style of Provence is characterized by soft pastel colors, the gray color is quite suitable. Carefully paint all corners, sides and even interior shelves.
- With the help of steel wool of coal color, walk confidently through the chest of drawers in the direction of the wood pattern. As a result, dark contrast bands appear on the chest of drawers, which need to be wiped off with a damp cloth. Wipe them until they leave light gray traces. Finally, walk on the entire surface of the furniture with a dry rag.
- Take the handle from the dresser and carefully walk on it with a steel brush, then lightly wipe it with a rag. Screw the knob in place.
- Draw the bottom of the drawers with a cloth in tone and attach the corners with glue.
