Directions and When Painting Why They Are Important

Painting we love it and poor our hearts into a piece of furniture or wall and it turns out horrible.
I have taken classes, bought books and research everything online. I took a new paint class on Plaster Paints. The person teaching this class was more concerned with painting his piece of furniture than teaching the class. I assumed the problem was with the paint. So I whine loudly! Plaster paints sent me new paint, more wax and directions. My first lesson before you take a class ask them what they are teaching. How much work is involved, how much experience do they have and have they taught classes before. Why the person teaching the class had a popular business. And even through they were talented they knew nothing about teaching a class. So I left frustrated. Following her directions I pulled out my practice piece. Stripped a few weeks earlier it already had several coats of paint on it. It came out prefect. And it is my practice piece. Or was my practice piece. I have now many classes under my belt and many books from many people.

Anne Sloan gives you a good understanding of her paint. She is a artist and also shows you how to use the color wheel. The color wheel
Is very important. But getting in there and making mistakes you learn.
Making your own paint to start is a great way to become interested in art. I know some people are totally against this but I'm not. I think it makes your curious and most will try many different things if they make their own paint. I do suggest you make yours green. Reading directions on a addictive I was going to ad to paint had cancer causing agents in it. I was going to put it on a table to make it leathery looking. I put it down. Reading will improve your work. If you re-sell
Your pieces I feel we have a responsibility to make sure the paint is safe for everyone.
