Here’s what I’ve been up to recently. I’ve painted an old fabric wing back chair in chalk paint. I was going for a ‘Sunflower’ feeling. The chair will be my studio chair. The whole chair has been waxed and will cure for 21 days.   I used chalk paint because it is clay based and not polymer based like acrylics.  The idea was that the fabric wouldn’t become as stiff if I didn’t use acrylics.   By waxing the finished painted chair I should get a softer patina overall.  I enjoyed using the chalk based paint.  It is a lot like gauche as it is opaque and you gave to let your areas dry between colours.  This made the project longer as I waited 24 hours between the addition of new colours.
