How to Dry Brush FurnitureFurniture Painting Techniques

Hi there, it's Rosanne here from Country Chic Paint. Today
I want to  introduce you to a fun painting technique called dry brushing, so stay tuned! So in this tutorial we'll be using some paper towel, a plate, a chip brush and two Country Chic Paint colors Dry brushing is a technique you can use to give your
piece a worn or a beachy kind of look So I'll show you how to do the dry brushing technique on this little table that we painted in the color Cobblestone.
I'm going to use two different colors Sunday Tea as well as Pebble Beach to dry brush
on top of this. What I like to do is pour a bit of paint on a paper plate and use
that to dab my brush in. If there's too much on your brush you can dab some of
it off on the plate or on a piece of paper towel.

One very important thing to
remember is that you need very little paint on your brush. It's called dry
brushing for a reason. As you can see the bristles are not soaked in paint. The
brush is almost dry, that is exactly what we want.

To dry brush this table I'm
going to use gentle, quick strokes going back and forth. Having a light hand is
key You want to have your brush only just
touch the surface of your piece Sometimes you'll accidentally put too
much paint on your brush and end up with a bit of a glob on your piece you can just
take a wet cloth and blended it in or remove it I really love this technique, it gives such a
gorgeous, worn look to your piece you know you can keep playing around with it
until you're happy with what it looks like In the next video I will show you how
to finish that table top of this piece with our Tough Coat so that it can stand up
to a lot of usage. If you enjoyed this video please leave us a comment or a like
