    Hey girl 😊 I would love love love to see you use Autentico Paint 🎨 I have used their paint once and absolutely fell in love 😍 Plus they have so many specialty products that I want to try that I know will be right up your alley ❣️ Texture products, Sea Salt Fizz, Rust & Patina powders, etc. just to name a few 😁 Here in the US we have to order from an US affiliate or off of the "usa" website but not sure what site you would order from. I totally hope you give it a try, I guarantee that you will love it 💯❤

    One of my favs in a long time.. I need more artistic finishes videos!! 😂 I absolutely love videos that show layering and shadowing paint techniques and artistic furniture painting…(without transfers! 😬) there’s just no new ones out there these days.

    I got back into furniture painting because of you and the pink ombré dresser. Now, because I’m Canadian, I found a small Canadian chalk paint company out of Quebec called Colorantic. I would love to get your opinion of their paint, as your style/blending/quirky is similar to mine, although you are a gazillion times better.

    • @BellaRenovare
      @BellaRenovare  2 роки тому +1

    Crys’Dawna have you ever used DIY Paint Company clay based paint? I’d love to see you use it and get your take on it. It has really become one of my absolute favorite because of the ease of blending, layering, achieving texture and distressing.

      I'm such a texture person. I'd love a more independent video on textures and how you decide when to use that technique or not. I seem to want to add texture to everything and I'm not sure if that's always the right thing to do. Does it take away elegance? etc..

      @BellaRenovare  2 роки тому

      I don’t know that it’s really possible unless you find the perfect match up, if it was plain it would be easy but not with this pattern. I prefer 45 cute because I renovated my homes and it’s more crafts like if that makes sense? More professional
