It didn’t turn out like I thought it would. Varnish: A thin coat applied after everything is dry.I thinned the paint, brushed it on, let it settle into the cracks, then wiped it off with a rag, and let dry. Antique: I used Carbon (black) for the gray frame and Burnt Umber for the other two.One Step Crackle: Just brush it on and let dry. (NOTE: I was a little concerned when I didn’t see crackling but after I antiqued it they appeared.).I did one coat on the blue and grey and two coats on the gold. Paint: No sanding or other prep needed (unless you have a stain that needs to be covered).I had heard how easy it was and couldn’t wait to try it out. I also tried something new on these, the DecoArt One Step Crackle. As you can see, I didn’t sand or even remove all the old paper off of them. gloves (not necessary, but nice when you’re working with the metal).

I almost dipped my brush in the coffee at one point…lol… Although you may want to drink the coffee BEFORE you paint. You can see all my favorite colors there! My hubby says it looks like a sheep murder scene! (The sheep will show up on the blog soon.) and 2.) I paint with a cup of coffee. Here we are, ready to paint! A few important things to notice… 1.) I’m painting on my dining table so it’s covered with my trusty old vinyl tablecloth that I only use for painting.
