Just paint it straight on. and use a clear or antique wax to protect when finished.
You can give it an all over look or just paint parts or build up different colours and rub back some areas between coats to highlight or give that distressed look......Enjoy the journey............!
The other folks here who gave you how-to links are good ones to check out. I do a lot of furniture painting, and my two current favorite brands of paint for it are General Finishes Milk Paint and Debi's Design Diary chalk & clay based paint.
