hey guys welcome back to another tutorial for vintage Paige we're going to do some fun processes and techniques with the new product folkways this is a water-based clear glaze that you can use to get all kinds of special effects over your basic paint finishes so I'm going to do two linen techniques for this video I've got two sample boards already prepared one is done with seashell and what is done with antique my favorite color it's such a neutral and I've done block it and two coats of paint whenever I'm doing projects for my clients that's what I do because I don't want to have to worry about tannins coming through or red or orange or anything from the red ochre mahogany so this has to block it underneath and then two coats the paint and you can see what a nice opaque finish you get I love the glazes from being at both finishers for many years but that's what makes your piece professional because it gives it a translucent see-through finish that settles into the nooks and crannies and it's just the special thing that makes it look not just paint so I'm going to start out with this seashell one and we're going to mix some ways we have this faux glaze it's clear new product wonderful has a good open time for both of these linen techniques you are going to want to do a piece where you have a start and ending piece like you don't want to do a wall because we are using a couple of tools that they sell at vintage market design and they have little grooves so when you run them through the glaze as you'll see you get a striation or stripe effect and then we're going to crosshatch it to get the linen you have to have a starting and stopping point and you can't do this from corner to corner in a room even if it's a powder room so what I suggest doing is doing like a wainscoting taping off some panels or perhaps on a piece of furniture which is ideal doing it on the drawer pull out the drawers and one at a time do the glaze and do the situation's one way and then the other to get your linen then that way it goes in to end and you don't have any stopping point this will make more sense once I do it on the sample board but you just want to not do a piece where you've got a big area to cover like an umlaut or a headboard you want to do something we've got panels ideally or you can create panels with tape so I'm going to make my first place and I like to work with neutrals so that's what I'm doing a lot tonight I'm using Oxford which is a wonderful charcoal gray almost black and I'm going to do like a 2575 mixture of my glaze and paint so I've got 1 spoon of Oxford and I'm going to do the 3 spoons of the glaze and you can see I'm not using the spoon that I dipped in the paint to dip in the glaze because then you're going to contaminate it with your colour how you use that spoon to mix it up Chinese pigments can paint really dispersed beautifully you don't have any spots I've worked with other lines so I get little dots and spots when the pigment doesn't happen here it's just emulsified beautifully and no issues so that's 25% Oxford to 75% clear glaze a little brush and I'm going to go over my seashell base and I'm going to cover the whole thing with an equal uniform coat and because I like to get that antique look I'm going to go around the edges as well and get it in the recessed areas because when we wipe that off it will stay in the little corners and give you a nice look of death okay so that's just a nice uniform look then I'm going to take my white linen tool loop s like little use on it and I'm just going to go from one end to the other and pull it through and you want to have a towel nearby and get the excess off every time you go through I'm going to go through that again just to make it a little stronger wiping it every time because if you don't you're going to get some blobs of color and then I'm going to go this way and it doesn't have to be perfect in fact these painted effects look better when they're kind of whimsical and loose if you try and get too perfect and too tight it's not pretty so I would suggest just letting go and having a good time with it you can see the glaze effect I have underneath wasn't quite even and the linen effect I'm doing on the top isn't quite even and that's what makes it pretty and I wouldn't go over too many times I've got like one more time to go and then I'm gonna call it a day and then what I'm gonna do is take my towel and go around the outside and wipe off the excess you always want to have a flat surface on your towel so it's taking off what's on their outside surface and not going in the recessed area you know what you look like a rag defect like you didn't need this would be really pretty and some drawer fronts on a door in the panels on a wainscoting if you've taped off some panels and you can even do some fun colors I mean just imagine apple green and purple barn door red and black or Oxford Raven you could get some other good looks so it's it's loose it's fun it's kind of a rustic farm look that's the effect with the wide column for linen hey guys we're back to do another linen effect with the new cleaners folkways from vintage market design the furniture paint this sample board has been primed with blockage it has two coats of antique on it which is my all-time favorite color in the whole line it's a glueing neutral white not too creamy not too yellow not too green just a good basic and I love using it with neutral glazes on top I'm going to make a glaze with taupe which is another wonderful neutral color and what we're going to do is three parts faux glaze clear glaze water-based glaze and one part taupe and ideally you might have to paint on your piece or your surface dry 24 hours before you do this step and then that way it won't get disturbed with it water-based way is going on top these are really nicely blended no problem with the pigment going through brush here and so I've got a taupe on top of antique which is something that I do probably once a week in my store it goes with everything it goes with the contemporary was a cottage goes with French goes with shabby chic just a really nice neutral antique look pushing the glaze into the recessed areas around its outside and just doing a solid coat you don't really have to worry too much about your brushstrokes because you are going to disturb them when you do the combing that's what these little things are and this is another little comb from vintage market design the last one we used had some bigger new shapes this one's really small almost like an actual color and I like to do a linen with this one if you want a very subtle look and I'm going to lay it down and press like that then you always have to read your vibe to take the excess off your comp you don't let it pull it through and then do it again with the excess on it comb now this one's a real subtle look so this is good in a place where you don't want it to be too apparent and I don't really worry too much if the legs are super straight I like it to be casual they get too rigid with your cross hatching and your lines it just isn't as fun I think it's pretty early looks like it's whimsical and a little loose and going through and comida like this lightens it up a little bit because you have your face of antique I like this small comb it really does look like fabric okay don't want to go through too much more in the next I don't want her to be busy then I'm going to take a flat dry clean part of the rag and a piece of furniture this would be on the edge of your drawer or the spindles of a leg sorry our G season in Albuquerque and I'm just taking off the extra and you can see when you use a flat surface like that it leaves it in the creases and in this history which is kind of funky sometimes it's nice when you graduate or enjoy summer and it doesn't really matter what type of brush you do it just go through afterwards and get rid of any stroke marks that you have and again you see you can see I'm not being really G precise with this it looks better when you can see the hand of the artist and it just fine and you can see that handmade that's what's great about this it doesn't look antique and taupe lace
