A small colour change and some new handles can have massive impact on a piece as this commission piece shows. As part of a home restyling this once dark and heavy looking piece has been revived and lightened with a beautiful Artisan custom neutral, detailed with character utilising Artisan waxes. Our client was after a specific neutral and through custom mixing; the perfect shade was created reviving the piece into something current, stylish and bespoke for our client and her space.
What we did :
Painting:
Hand painted with subtle texture (painting in multiple directions) with a custom mix of 50/50 Potters Clay and Crisp White Premium Chalk Paint using a Staalmeester series 2020 size 18 and and pointed tip size 12 for corners and edges loading plenty of paint as we go; once dry lightly sanded with 240 grit sand paper removing most of the texture and leaving behind very subtle movements
Wax: A blended wax of 40 Dark wax and 60 clear wax for subtle ageing over the piece. Brushed over with Staalmeester 3600 and wiped back with lint free rag.
