4 Techniques/7 Products
Using Products Different Ways to Achieve Different Looks
Experiment...
Once you get comfortable with your paint and the whole process of changing a piece with paint, glaze, and various the products, it's time to experiment. Once you have the basics down, determine to take out your brushes, our sponges, sand paper, rags, whatever you have and get busy.
Paint it on, wipe it off, sand, scrape, layer, spray, etc. and see what you can come up with. It's OK to play and it's OK to start over if need be. You will discover a whole new world of creating if you are brave enough to experiment.
