having booked the course a while ago i couldn't quite understand how quickly it seemed to come around. anyway after a bit of a journey and a slight confusion as to where it actually was, i arrived at Annie Sloan interiors in oxford. anniesloan.com
i spent the day learning ways of painting furniture and gaining more of an understanding of colour, texture and choosing the right paint work for different pieces of furniture. a really beneficial and inspiring day. Annie has developed her own range of chalk based paints which were really good for achieving the 'french' look, without the pieces looking 'freshly painted'.
just a few photographs from midway through the day. we painted different effects on each section of the boards, none of the above are finished here...
