Water Distress Finish

This class will walk you through the process and steps needed to create a textured, water distressed furniture finish. This course is designed so that you can paint along with a small furniture piece following the videos and get similar results. We created this course to be as close to an in-person experience as possible. Please review the supply list using colors and items as close to what is recommended as possible.

DIY Paint (we recommend using three to five colors) 8 oz sample sizes will be plenty and you will have a lot of paint left over.
