With all this miserable weather around, I fancied cheering myself up by painting something cheery and bright. This cupboard was just a plain white box before I started, I used Louis Blue which just doesn’t get used enough in my opinion for the body of the piece and Old White for the inset panel to the front. With a graphic downloaded for free from the wonderful Graphics Fairy website which I customised (see it’s from Sevenoaks, my home town now!) to fit nicely in the space.
Using Annie Sloan Decoupage Varnish for the transfer and Annie Sloan Craqueleur to get that lovely old oil painting effect I finished the piece off with Soft Clear Wax and Soft Dark Wax, which really shows off the cracks and details.
If you want to learn how to do this, why don’t you sign up to one of our workshops (or your local Annie Sloan stockist) where we’ll show you how it’s done.
