Create unique furniture using chalk paint, drippy paint effect & copper leaf for high end makeover

- My aim with this beautiful old dresser was to create an Autumnal finish using a mix of Annie Sloan paints. I knew that I wanted copper leaf so I used paints I knew would compliment and work well with the leaf.
I base coated the whole dresser with two coats of Oxford Navy.
let this Dry thoroughly. I then used a ragging paint technique where I applied paints in small sections and blended them and moved them on the piece using a dry and wet rag.....I used plenty of water to help move the paint.
The water allows the paint to settle in the details and gives it so much depth and interest.
After the whole piece had been ragged with my initial 3 colours I let this dry completely.
I then added some metallic acrylic paint and some water to an old spray bottle and sprayed the piece to give it low lights in certain areas.
Again letting it dry overnight I proceeded to stamp on a floral pattern using the IOD peonies and Chrysanthemums stamps. I used ink to do this and painted the flowers with the gilding adhesive ( size)
So follow me whilst I apply my copper and see how the effect is stunning and simple to do.
I then added some more Oxford Navy and then some greens and blues just to tone down the oranges.. I finished the piece with some copper gilding polish. Then I lacquered the piece to seal it...
Here's everything I used
Annie Sloan Paint
Oxford Navy ( base)
Primer. Red
Barcelona Orange
Honfleur
Various sizes of rags
3 inch oval brush.
small brushes to apply watered down paint
Then for
The florals
Copper Leaf
Gilding Adhesive
IOD stamps peonies and chrysanthemums
A small arty Brush
A large soft brush
To add depth
Annie Sloan
Provence
Antibes green
Gilding polish copper
Some more Oxford Navy
Small square pallet knife
Cut in brush and Furniture lacquer
And I think that I've listed everything I'm really happy to answer any questions you may have about what I did to create this piece.
We are new to RUclips if you like this have a look at some of our other videos. We do Up-cycles, crafts and I paint furniture.
We hope to see you again

When the grape harvest is over where I live in Italy there are always clusters of deep purple dried grapes that have basically become raisins. Then the veined leaves begin to turn. Reds, golds, yellows, but still with fading green leaves left, not that deep green of summer.
This is the perfect paint effect you've created to capture what the vines look like.
This is the time of year when I go out and collect the leaves and press them to use for making Christmas cards. I steal those purple clusters too for Christmas wreaths.
The period I'm referring to doesn't last long. One good Autumn storm and it's all gone. Your beautiful piece of furniture captures that brief moment when you can look down over the vineyards and see colors that take your breath away. The difference is that your colors won't disappear overnight.
Really beautiful piece of art.
What a beautiful comment its almost poetic thanks so much and it sounds lovely where you are.

Going back to see anything I might have missed and LOVE this piece! Copper is my favorite metallic and the techniques you used to apply it were great. I never thought of mixing it with water and spraying it on or outlining where you plan to use the copper leaf - simply awesome! Beautiful results!
Oh I also love copper at that time 2 and a bit years ago I was the first to be messing around with stamps and gold and copper leaves x x
Dear, what kind of lacquer did you use on it and how long did you wait before applying the lacquer ? You then used the wax, how long did you wait before you applied the wax? dark wax or clear wax? Thank you xxx I love you and Marty
Okay when my paint was dry by dry I mean it no longer feels cold.....about half a day. Not cured that takes 28 days just dry. I applied 2 coats of rustoleum laquer leaving a few hours between each application. side note I now use French chic top coat as you have watched an old video.
When the laquer was dry again when it feels dry totally dry a few hours I then waxed...
I've actually 🎨painted furniture mostly w my fingres ..using mostly acrylics .I hadn't planned it that way 😊but it just started as I went along in the process of painting this piece i had and I liked it.😎.! I had allot of compliments on it✨️🤩 ..people saying they never seen anything like it b4👀🎉😲
Anyway I wanted to do more but hadn't kept continuing.However.Watching and seeing this current popular trend pf ways of painting..embellishing furniture..has caught my imagination..Watching you is inspiring me to get back into painting furniture..I'd like to try this technique too!!..but also return to what I discovered myself some years ago..
💯🌟Your teaching and Camera Work ( Thanks Martin 😂too !) Really Commendable 👑🏆🏅⭐️
Fabulous 😁

Also Lel
I can’t seem to find that wonderful glue of yours here. You say Hard As Nails? What’s comparable to that? Thank you so so much?
Try tight bond quick n thick I've not used it but I think it may be similar x
This is beautiful!!
Thanks Lauren happy painting 🎨❤️ X
Dear Lel
If this piece had not already been painted, would you have put primer on it?
Second question,
What’s an equally good primer to use if it’s not Annie Sloan? It’s just too pricey, yet I want something that goes on nicely, easy clean up and compatible with chalk paint. Might you help love?
If this piece had not been painted I wouldn't have primed it... I don't use primer. Annie Sloan is a no prime no prep paint so I don't..... I jyst normally give my pieces at least 2 good coats of paint.
As I don't use primer I can't really recommend one I do use zinnzer Bin if I get bleed you could use this..... X
Love your work. Every piece is amazing! And you are a great teacher. Not sure if it's my phone or what, but I'm having a bit of a hard time hearing you. Did not have that issue when your husband did his piece. Your voice is so soft. But you are a genius artist and I can watch you for hours.
This video is one I filmed myself when I first started it's an old one. Back then I didn't wear a mic, now I always wear one so for the last year the sounds is better any videos later than that the sound is quite. I'm sorry it has involved as time has gone on.... X x
Fabulous.
Thanks so very much ❤️
Gorgeous ❤
Thanks so much for watching x
So good!
This is one of my all time favourite pieces x

X X lel ❤️
This is such a gorgeous treatment! Even before it was all finished, it was stunning. Beautiful!! ❤️💖🥰🇨🇦 (Some time ago you recommended checking out the journal mixed midea artists on RUclips, and I wanted to thank you for that suggestion. I have learned so much and my art has definitely improved! ❤️)
Oh yeah the journal gals have it all going on.... Layers, texture, focal points, even colours.
I was trying to say that in a smaller scale these techniques can be projected in a larger scale onto furniture....
I'm really glad you left me this comment and I'm so grateful you watch

I'm in the middle of doing my first piece here on a small island off Sardinia...materials are harder to get here but Amazon helps
I used to make my own stencils with cereal boxes... When I couldn't afford to buy things..... And you could make your own chalk paint x
I absolutely love this piece 😍
It's my most favourite piece I think I have ever painted x
I'm in love with this piece ❤
Awwww thanks Susan...you are very kind X

Thanks so much Justine. I'm really glad you enjoyed it .....thanks so much for watching it X ❤️
Inspired ❤
Thank you Joy. Nice to hear.
Lel you mentioned that we did not get to see you lacquer it and put on the handles. What kind of lacquer did you use? How long did you wait before applying the lacquer, after having painted it?
Yes at the time I shot this video I used rustoleum laquer...... I now use French chic tough coat I use this on all of my furniture. If you look at some of my more recent videos you can see how I apply it. Sorry you didn't see me do this I generally skip the boring parts.

Could you restamp the flowers on top of the copper?
Mmm yes I think you probably could Gail, you can paint onto copper leaf so I imagine yes you could... Hope this helps x
Lel. ❤️
WOW 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi love the unit and the finish , who’s stamp is it if I may ask ?
It's the IOD stamp called peonies... X
A piece of ART! What did you do before you got into furniture painting??? You need to showcase your work more, can't you partner up with a paint brand and also post videos on their channel? More exposure = more members = more $$$ How can I help?
Thanks, yes its something I am working on. Trying my best to get there. :)
Dear Marley,where can I get these flowers for the furniture?
As I showed in the video they were stamps and I used gold leaf..... If its the flowers the stamp came from IOD.... Look them up for your nearest stockist x
Beautiful!!
Robin this piece is one of my favourites of everything I have ever painted..... And I am glad you like it x
