The oil painting acrylic



If you are looking to achieve excellent results within the ideas for painting furniture, the best to use oil paints because the colors, shades, glossy shine. . . is much more warm and inviting. However, unless you are very unfamiliar with it, you should use better water-washable acrylic paint, to finish the work with a transparent satin varnish to seal the job done. Cleaning the brushes when painting in oils is much more complex and far slower drying.

Marmolizado

Among the ideas for painting furniture marmolizado is one of the older techniques, with many variations in the effects produced by both the color and the design. Once you find a marble that you like, you can use it as a model.

Marmolizar surfaces was better than in reality could be marble, but for years was very fashionable to apply this technique on the front of drawers or bathroom furniture.

It is better to experiment first on a piece of wood to achieve the desired effect. The technique consists of spreading a coating on a base surface color of off white satin enamel. When the glaze is still wet, rub the surface removing partially or even mixing the different layers of paint and, finally, fine lines streaking when paint is dry.

The trickiest part is the grain, so if allowed to dry the surface thoroughly after, it can withdraw with a cloth if it has not been to his liking. There are many types, but the most typical are the white marble, which is on a white base, with shades of blue, green or gray. The black marble, with streaks ocher, yellow, or red Indian and red sienna, which is on a white base with raw sienna and white top. Veto of land in natural shadow color in raw sienna and white.

For marbling, you can use an eyeliner brush or a quill. Perform the veins in the same direction as the paint has been applied since the cross are often more difficult to perform and are less natural.

Stencil with templates

This idea is best for painting furniture when decorating flat surfaces such as door frames and cupboards. Templates can be performed easily with acetates or stencil paper, but are also found in craft stores.

If you make your own templates, Trace or draw their designs on a card. Trim with a sharp knife, leaving bridges between parts of the drawing and hold the cardboard with duct tape on the surface to be painted.

You can work on any basis, but perhaps better the glossy paint, allowing you to easily remove the paint in case of error. To apply the color you can use several methods: a short-bristle brush, a pencil to stencil or spray painting cars in that delicate finish and get a well-defined contours.

In any case, apply the color very slightly, with very little paint on the brush. Brush and gently scrub with a brush adding color gradually, to avoid “burr” and drops.

Cropped

Another good ideas for painting furniture is called cut. This is one of the decorative finishes most effective and economical. It consists of applying cuts on the furniture. This technique is well suited to almost all types of furniture and objects. It can be applied to any surface, provided it is clean enough for the glue to adhere well.

You can use any material, such as magazine clippings, paper decorations, dried flowers pressed. . . But before embarking on the task should check whether the paper or object cut is not too porous and absorb the varnish too, which would be transparent.

It should be cut while the object being to hit and not put too much glue, to prevent the formation of surface blisters. Let it dry completely before applying the glaze over and then extend three to five layers in the course of several days, waiting for each coat dry thoroughly before applying the next.
