I had a client bring a very large angel to me for a transformation. Her daughter-in-law loves angels and she wanted to give this to her for Christmas.
Before:
This angel is 3 feet tall and quite large. My client wanted the angel aged in white tones, so I grabbed my handy dandy paint brush and began the transformation. First, I dipped my paint brush in water and then in a small container of white chalk paint. This technique allows the paint to stay wet and I am able to wipe off any extra paint. In some areas I wiped off too much paint, so I had to dry brush over again until I achieved a real, deep aged look.

I think the angel might be daydreaming. What do you think? |
