PAINT FURNITURE AS A "CANVAS"

I found this old rocking chair on a pile of discards. But you can use an old door, a bench, a stool. or a wooden shutter as a painting surface!


One arm was missing, so I removed the other one.





I filled holes with wood putty and let dry.



I used sandpaper not only to smooth the wood but also to take the shine off the surface. Then I wiped it with a damp cloth.

A smooth coat of gesso came next.

After the gesso was dry, I began to paint with acrylics.

I even decorated a pillow with fabric paint to use as a cushion...

                      

             But I prefer the plain gold-colored pillow with the finished product.
