I saw a painted piece of furniture with 3 different shades of chalk paint. It was beautiful. How can I achieve this look?

You paint your 3 layers on and then you can use 600 wet/dry sandpaper to reveal your colours. At least with Van Gogh Fossil Paint I can do that.

Paint one coat at a time, let dry EACH time....then sand away! Some people wax their piece b/4 sanding, but I personally sand b/4 waxing...its easier to sand, at least for me!! Good luck and be sure to post your piece!!

Between each coat of dry paint rub a candle on the areas you want to distress, paint over the piece when dry, use sandpaper fine grade to reveal previous layer of paint. Simples.

The candle provides a barrier between the coats of paint. You apply only to the areas you want to distress. When the second layer is dry coarse abrasive sandpaper is then used to remove the paint from the distressed area. This leaves the first layer of paint intact.

No not as a wax but as a barrier between paints. Used only in the area you want to distress as the paint then comes off easily leaving the 1st layer intact.
