How to Use a Chalk Paint Brush?

Published in Chalk Painting Techniques 1 min read

One specific technique for using a chalk paint brush, particularly for smoothing the finish, involves a method called feathering.

The Feathering Technique

Feathering is a technique used with a chalk paint brush primarily to help smooth out most of the brush strokes left behind by the paint application.

Here's how to apply the feathering technique based on the reference:

  • Purpose: To smooth out visible brush strokes.
  • Method:
    1. Use very light pressure.
    2. Keep your brush angled up.
    3. Barely go over the painted surface.

By using very light pressure and keeping the brush angled up while you barely go over the paint, you can smooth out heavy brush marks, resulting in a smoother finish.
