3 crafted Artisan colours with big bold summer holiday vibes. Works beautifully on their own as bright and bolds, but also a great combo for mixing together for a wide range of blues, greens and teals... they also blend harmoniously and effortlessly together onto a piece as shown in the pictures. A trio staple in your Artisan kit for creating projects with that holiday energy.
With Premium Chalk Paints : Each of these also work beautifully when knocked back with dark wax or carbon black wax, it tones down the colour to suit your space. Dark wax will tone down the colour but also add warmth at the same time creating an aged vintage take on the colours. Carbon Black coloured wax will tone down, deepen and cool down the colours further creating a more modern take on the colours.
They all pop and pair beautifully with a little Artisan metallics too. See inspiration picture of hall table. To get the look use Tropical lagoon and knock it right back with Carbon Black Wax with a touch of silver. The Rustic Cabinet pictured has been offset with a little rustic gold, use forgotten gold metallic glide to get the look.
With Velvet Luxe- Hybrid Chalk Paint (indoor-outdoor): These are so great for adding a quick pop of colour to your garden and outdoor space, use it on pots or outdoor furniture. Pictured here you see a customer DIY Project of outdoor chairs done in Azure Kingfisher Velvet Luxe photos sent in by Suzanne L in Auckland which instantly draws the eye and gives the area by the pool a playful welcoming feel.
Sheen Levels. If you love bright and bold adding a coat of Artisan Satin or Gloss Lacquer over your Premium Chalk Paint or Velvet Luxe finish will richen the colours even further creating a lustrous glossy finish. Artisan colour with high impact. Ideal for glossy pots, vases and decor.
The options are truly endless and sometimes we all need a little inspo to reach out for a bright and bold to add that holiday energy into a space and these 3 are definitely some of our strong contenders for that . All available in Velvet Luxe-Hybrid Chalk Paint for outdoor-indoor furniture and projects, Matte Estate Wall Paints and of course in Premium Chalk Paints for decorative finishes.

Industrial Mood
Regular price

Tax included.
Our Industrial Mood is a great colourway for a modern and contemporary look, its chic and timeless, can be merged with a little luxe using metallics or merged with a little rustic-ness with aged woods and metals. It can be modern and sophisticated and minimal.
For this we have chosen our lovely Clubhouse Grey a beautiful dark grey almost like a pencil led like grey, Carbon Black which is our richest blackest black paired with Urban Loft a mid grey that when placed around Clubhouse and Carbon Black will be the highlighter and appear a lot lighter, we've also included Old Espresso for a touch of warmth and earthiness. Old Espresso is a beautiful version of brown but with no red, orange or yellowness to it, its a cool grey based brown with lovely complex underlying tones to create our sophisticated earthy brown that works well for interiors
These neutrals can be used in different ways and combinations on walls through our Matte Estate, on doors or cabinetry with our Velvet Luxe and decorative paint effects with our Premium Chalk Paints. Which ever way you choose to use them this "colourway" will help to create an instant Industrial Mood for your interiors.
One way to use this colourway is through Clubhouse Grey and Urban Loft Matte Estate on your walls using them in a way to define areas and spaces allowing you to play with dark and light drawing spaces in and out visually using light and dark. Both of these neutrals being used together will let off a strong Industrial vibe and a great canvas for you to accessorise around.
Add pops of carbon black on furniture, decor and accessories. Or do a decorative paint finish using our Premium Chalk Paints in a textured Old Espresso with a Carbon Black coloured wax and you will create some great variations and effects of rustic wood and this can be used on any furniture or even shelving to add this rustic element to it.
To polish it off add a little luxe using metallic golds or silvers, and simple minimalist textiles, like stone washed linens, grain sacks or aged leathers. Select metal work for furniture and accessories or do a decorative paint finish on your existing furniture using Carbon black with Old Espresso coloured wax ,with hints of sangria and firefly for an aged rusty metal look. To balance it all off add in your metallic for a little luxe which will refine this industrial mood into something beautifully bespoke for an interior space.

Lets talk Carbon Black Wax (Video Included)
Regular price

Knowing how to do a Carbon Black wax is a staple skill in decorative painting with Artisan Premium Chalk Paints. It's the darkest you can go when it comes to waxing and can be used in a myriad of ways to create age, an industrial vibe or to deepen and richen a finish and works wonderfully on darker deeper colours to richen, add life and dimension to the paint finish.
To create a Carbon Black wax you need to mix your Artisan Clear wax and Premium Chalk Paint in Carbon Black together. This allows you to custom mix the strength of your wax, on deeper darker colours you may go a bit stronger (more premium chalk paint in the mix) for lighter colours you may mix it to be more subtle (less premium chalk paint in the mix). You have the freedom to mix and adjust your Carbon Black wax to suit the colour you've chosen and the type of finish you're after to suit.
Using Carbon Black wax will mean that you are about to deepen the colour that you have chosen as far as you can. Carbon Black will create a lovely cool tone in your paint finish when compared to Artisan Dark wax which is more of a vintage brown wax and will effectively create a warmer more vintage look to your finish.
This week we've created a behind the scenes video on helping you to master your Carbon Black wax; which runs you through all the details and a behind the scenes look at using it, but first lets take a quick look at some different ways to pair and use Carbon Black wax.
To Re-create the Look use Old Denim with Carbon Black Wax
Carbon Black Wax is also a great option for toning down the brighter Artisan colours, it has enough strength to knock these colours right back for mix a contemporary classic look
To Recreate the look head for Tropical Lagoon and Carbon Black Wax
To Recreate this look use Azure King Fisher and Carbon Black Wax, pull back with plenty of clear wax.
Deepen and richen the colours with Carbon Black Wax
Create the look with Gretels Forest Premium Chalk Paint and Carbon Black Wax
now we're about to show you how much the level of strength your Carbon Black wax has will affect your end result the following can be re-created with Clubhouse Grey Premium Chalk Paint with a lower strength Carbon Black Wax, while a higher strength Carbon Black Black over Clubhouse grey will create the finish on the bed.
recreate the look with clubhouse grey and lower strength carbon black wax pulled back with clear wax.
below the same combo but with a stronger strength carbon black wax with more texture in the painting (brushing the Clubhouse grey in all directions)
and then of course below is a piece completed in Old Espresso and Carbon Black Wax where we've captured a behind the scenes in real time of us working on the project to talk you through how to master Carbon Black wax and all the essentials you need to know on how to control and manipulate Carbon Black waxing.
We hope this entry has you all inspired and taken the fear out of using Carbon Black wax and if you happen to reach out for it in one of your finishes be sure to send a photo we would love to see!

Dantes Dream is a strong crimson red and was inspired by the painting by Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1871). Mixed here with Old Mauve. Old Mauve's inspiration is drawn from Ripon Cathedral in England and its famously rich and fantastic stained-glass windows. We love how these two mix into a luxurious deep berry colour with endless variations.

Dark and Moody, textured and rustic is this recipe, great for creating that feature character piece. A great recipe for those stand-alone pieces like a sideboard, hall table or something you want to add a bit of character and charm too.
Painting: Paint 1-2 coats of Potters Clay with a Staalmeester Pure Bristle brush, load generously and vigorously brush the paint in all directions, then as the paint is drying come back and brush over again as you go to create lots of rustic texture and leave to dry
Water down the Carbon Black by approx 10-15% then lightly brush over the coat of Potters Clay (this doesn't need to be full coverage) A thin layer of Carbon Black is all you need. Leave to dry.
Lightly sand selected areas with 240 grit sandpaper to bring out the underlying texture and Potters Clay. Only gentle pressure is required as there is only a thin layer of Carbon Black, focus on areas where it would naturally wear like corners and edges.
Waxes :
Apply dark wax in sections and wipe with lint free rag.
Mix your coloured wax Approx 1:1 Artisan Clear wax with Carbon Black and brush over in areas to detail, darken and shadow
Enhance:
Detail and Enhance with Metallic Glide in Forgotten Gold on edges (optional)
TIP: Ensure there is a nice layer of Potters Clay before you move onto the Carbon Black. The beauty of this finish is nothing is even and everything is imperfectly perfect so allow yourself to get creative. If at anytime you have sanded too much Carbon Black back, just reapply your diluted Carbon Black over the areas. This will blend back perfectly given the rustic nature of this finish. This finish balances itself beautifully with a touch of gold.
