We’ve demonstrated lots of fun finish techniques using different types of chalky finish and chalk + clay paints (this is usually my go-to technique =) ) . However, recently a few of you have been asking for a tutorial on achieving an antique crackle finish using chalk paints. Ask, and you shall receive! Today we’re sharing a video tutorial that we created for a tutorial series with Deco Art. This tutorial uses chalky finish paint along with a crackle medium to bring out a finish that looks like its been around for decades!
