Master class on painting furniture with acrylic paints
I would like to share my experience on painting furniture. The furniture was painted in my room in the village. I drew long and hard in my scarce free time, sometimes hours and even days, for several months. Of course, it's hard to label it a classical master class, since I painted the furniture so carefully in the first (and likely last) time.
So, let's get started. We will need:
- Patience and faith in a bright future
- Old furniture, acrylic interior paint, roller, sandpaper, molar tape, ruler, pencil, eraser(!), acrylic paint, brushes, varnish
1. I used old furniture: a bookcase and cabinet, made of chipboard with a dark brown color.
2. I didn’t like the color, so I decided to repaint the furniture. It is necessary to clean the surface using rough emery paper, then degrease it. For painting, I used acrylic paint for the walls with the addition of Kohler (ochre). I painted in several layers. In general, the surface preparation is the most time-consuming stage.
The chipboard had a different covering than the bookcase and cabinet. I had to use putty on the cabinet first before I could paint it.
3. The next stage is the thumbnails. It was a little bit easier as I originally conceived this project while viewing a painting, which won me over a few months ago. It was a painting of the Historical Museum on Red Square (Moscow, Russia). Seeing the painting for the first time, I realized that I fell in love. I had only to close my eyes and before me there were these extraordinary, fabulous, patterned walls, ceiling, columns...
I am not going to bore you with more enthusiasm and descriptions, now that you understand that the furniture was decorated based on my favorite pattern from the Historical Museum.
Now, start painting. Using a pencil, make a frame. The geometry of the picture should comply with the anchor points, as the figure should be duplicated on the doors (I had six doors!)
4. Paint the frame. To frame it equally, I used the molar tape. I painted the frame with two acrylic paints: English red and metallic copper.
5. Next, draw the main green pattern. For painting I used Plaid acrylic paint (don't be surprised that some paints are for glass - if the acrylic is suitable for glass, wood or primed laminate can be used without problems).
6. Then paint the bright colored pattern elements.
7. The final stage of the painting is toning. I used tinted green painting. First I made dark green strokes, and then added a bit of yellow in the middle of the pattern.
8. After everything is dry (12-24 hours), it is possible to use the varnish onthe furniture.
This is what we have as a result:
I hope you liked it! I wish you a lot of creativity and patience to bring them to life!
I want to thank Justin Benjamin for his help in the translation of the master class.
