Applying dark glaze

everyone it's brandy motley here a little bit late I don't even know what him okay it's almost 10:30 so this is for all you night owls who want to sit here and watch painting videos I'm out here I'm gonna be glazing I'd put on my paint I was gonna glaze this piece today which I am I'm just gonna do it a little bit late I spent the day with my family today so I see a lot of questions about the difference between when to use wax and when to use blades I'm actually going to use both on this piece but for this purpose I'm going to use I'm going to start out with my glaze the reason I'm choosing glaze is because this piece has a lot of fine details like this here and all this carving here oh wow holy smokes yes all these fine details will be great with glaze wax I'm still gonna use and get a more like smudgy effect around some of these moldings but for these fine details I want to use blade let me show you a scene dixiebell products tonight this is one of their glazes and I'll show you the consistency oh sorry so without dumping this out on the ground I'm gonna show you what glaze looks like wait place is like a liquidy consistency it's more like a thin pudding almost you see that that's a glaze consistency versus wow wax is a you know it's a solid it's not liquid anymore so for this purpose I want the liquid because it's gonna find all the low points on my piece and versus having to dig it all in with a wax so what I have out I just have an old grungy brush I have a rag an old t-shirt and then I've tried baby wipes a lot of people use baby wipes I actually like these cleaning wipes from Costco when I'm glazing they seem to have more moisture in it did you blend to peace actually have three colors so this piece this is dixiebell paint and this is stormy seas is my dark my middle color is [Music] vintage duck egg and then my lightest color is driftwood and I just blended all these wet this has a coat of clear wax on it I always clear wax before I glaze and that's because chalk paint is is poorest and it will absorb whatever you put on top of it so if you don't blaze before or I'm sorry if you don't clear wax before you start putting your glaze on your paint will absorb the glaze and you won't be able to wipe it back as well I like a nice clean glaze line so I'm going to please kind of close getting this on my brush loading it up and I'm going to dig it into all these details here so I'm going around all the details that I want to get it into I want it in the lines around this frame and I want it in these rosettes butter on the side I only do small sections I'm not going to try to do this whole door at one time because once this starts to set up it's kind of a pain to remove so once I've got it on there yeah the details on this one are awesome it's a really pretty piece I've had it for awhile but then I'm just going back with my dry rag and I'm gonna wipe it off with my dry rag first that's just to take off the majority of this excess I keep finding a clean spot on my rag sometimes I go through two or three rags when I'm doing this it's a messy process my hands are filthy I don't like glazing not something I enjoy it's tedious but can you see it get up kind of close and you see what that's doing to this detail right here like it just found all the low spots for me I'm gonna clean this up even more but you can see just right off the bat what it really does so then once I've wiped it back with my dry rag and come back with using a little bit white and I'm gonna clean up this with my finger wherever I can get my finger into it looks darker that's just gonna sweat right now dig in here wipe over the top of this little hole right here I only want to leave it in those deep crevices just for definition thank you I like these colors this is a little more neutral so this is Flint you know a lot of blending techniques I've used before but just doing it with more neutral colors so it's everybody's into you know really bold colors you can still you know get a blended finish with neutral colors too so you probably can't tell till this starts drying a little bit I don't want to clean it out of the crevices I'm trying to just really wipe around it might kind of keep my finger at like a 45 degree angle they don't want to wipe into the crib I don't want to wipe the crevices out I just want to clean what's on the outside of it so it's a lot of applying wiping it back off applying it wiping it back off and then you can see what's left behind is right in here all my rosette right here so it's gonna really just give definition to those details this is just from the wet wipes that'll dry just for the sake of showing you I'm gonna do a lot of people have questions about all-over glazing I don't generally do it I don't really care for the look as much but I'm going to show you on this door as another example so if you want it to darken your whole piece and give it that like antique look you can wipe this on your entire piece and wipe it back off this is a little bit easier because it left clean you know plus of a clean look I don't know if you can tell on camera or not but it just darkened my paint color a little bit versus down here where all this was left clean and I just did the crevices so I'll take it I don't know anyway I'm gonna wipe this back off please is water-based get too much on it wipes off once it sets up it's kind of a pain to wipe off but when you have too much you can kind of play with the look that you want on this one I'm going to use waxes for my all over look for so I just really want it in the crevices on this one the but else I'm going to do this this line right here same thing I'm just gonna put it on the whole thing looks like I'm making a mess really Stephanie you're a neutral girl I would not have thanked you for that I saw you sold that park bench piece which I love that color that piece was incredible I guess you do do a lot of whites and I'm a color girl so this is a subtle look but hey you know it's not that Wow but you can see where I just did you just made it dark and all those little crevices and gave definition to those little flowers there first time you've done that bull I'm gonna do this side detail right here I'm not done with this one it's gonna get some dark waxes gonna get some gold detailing so again this house clear wax a coat of clear wax over my paint and then the glaze just on top of that I'm going to clear wax again over the glaze to seal this glaze in protect it you see that and cover that hole so when do I use wax versus glaze I use wax when I want kind of a softer more smudgy look not as defined I like glaze when I want clean very defined details now I'm just wiping this back off or you just put it on just makes this whole thing look a little bit old you know all the places where dirt would have gotten over generations on this piece you know that you tried to clean off but it's just gotten stuck in the crevices that's kind of the effect that glazes mimic ink so I wiped it off with my dry rag and now I'm just going back and I'm really just cleaning off the top layer with the way so the glaze is really just for it's not gonna protect my feet it's just a decorative accent not to seal with it just gives definition I use it when I've got a lot of fine details here's another piece I'm working on this smooth front piece I don't think would be as good work ways it's got more rounded edges don't memory cords you know this would work with great with blaze but the smooth front of this would be a little bit hard it would give it a dirtier look versus this but I just put that glaze on so you can kind of see over here where we did two so it's it's really subtle it's just gonna save me some time when I'm waxing I could dig in here with wax seal but that's just so much more time-consuming looking don't look in here I have a buffet with a desk on top of it and then there's a chest in there too it's kind of a disaster no this isn't great glaze this is a this is a dark place this is I think this is considered black and the dixiebell line I don't have it in the right container because I dropped the container no the grunge glaze this is the one that I showed on camera in the right container this is grunge and it's actually gray I have no furniture in my grow I posted not that long ago that I wasn't going to bring pieces home and I just brought like four things home today I really need to clear this out anybody who been following like we're building a house and I'm supposed to move in a few months and sell my house and I have a garage full of furniture I need to get this stuff out of here but then you know they turn so quickly I need to keep a supply at the same time hey this is like a this would be like a black glaze so you can see I just put it all in my details I go back with my dry rag first and I'm wiping off the excess and always be careful not to touch your dirty rag to your piece because it has blades on it and you'll get glaze where you're trying to wipe off I take you all the time so my dry rag took off most of it but I still have like a residue and I don't want that so that's where you take these clean wipes you're moving to the house well I love the pictures of your house anyway so then I just take this wet rag and see it cleaning off that excess so I change spots on it so now I'm gonna come back with a clean spot on it and wipe a different once it starts getting wet or dirty on your cloth you have to keep changing it so then I'm gonna really just want this crevice right the top of this this one down here let's see I got some all over so then I'm going to come back I'm going to do smudge some dark waxes in here too this will have to dry once this dries I'll do another coat of clear wax over the top to protect my glaze and then I'll come back and start doing my dark waxes another one of these rosettes down here I'm going to get love it on wipe it off with my dry rag you wish for moving to California you have one of your kids is out here aren't they in the military I don't know we rethink about living in California all the time but we're native Californians and my family is all here so we're too scared to leave but sometimes the politics and the state don't make the most sense trying to build our house here has been the perfect example of it just the amount of restrictions and guidelines that we have or so cumbersome energy efficiency guidelines and fees and regulations and I mean it's insane you cannot do what you want with your own property here oh and Modesto oh that's not that far away I'm in Sacramento this is the drawer that we did on just giving more definition to these edges the California is crying seriously I'm a native Californian but I'm not of the Californian mentality it's kind of funny yeah California is absolutely insane it is beautiful here and it is tragically messed up could not agree more I guess that's why we're heading to the hills we're going in a little bit country cuz I can't hang any more your sister built the house in Modesto oh yeah yeah you know we looked into that actually we had bought a house a couple years ago and we started remodeling it and then it just got to where we were like we're just fixing somebody else's mistakes and we could who could have stuck another hundred thousand dollars into it and it still would have been the house that we wanted so I just couldn't do it we just got out we sold it and that money paid for us to buy the lot that we bought and I'm happy that we did just remodeling you're always still working around someone else's house I guess oh no can you guys see that with that ditch of that door really just define all my details I got this little piece I have this from these ridges here that I'm gonna do you can see over here I've already done them verses where I have it that's not a very clean transition but don't look about painted edge either that'll be thick so anyway that's what I'm doing is just what lays amazing this is Dixie cup ways and it's a black glaze I think it's called black I'll have to look I think it is I think the color is called black so can you your oh no Colorado yes you're gonna yes you can't you I don't get it I'm having a hard time with because I have kids and it's like how do I explain to my kids pot commercials and why that's okay but I'm telling them not to smoke cigarettes you know it's just or when we go out to target and people are high and smell like weed it just is a hard thing to have kids around I don't know I can you know to each of them when I get it I don't really care what anybody does in the privacy of their own home but having kids I just don't I don't know it's an influence that I never thought I would have I didn't grow up with it so it's a new thing and I don't know just trying to explain that definition to them it has been a challenge because they they're seeing it all over the place it's like straight on billboards and stuff now I told ya I told you fits up just do it mine came home the other day and said mom if you can't cook cigarettes right and snow well you can but you shouldn't but you can't smoke pot right and I'm like or marijuana they say and like well you can but you also shouldn't and then explain to them that it's kind of against the law but not really against the law a mess I mean Oh beautifully you know I'm excited when I put the boxes on how this is gonna look so that's where I am right now sorry for just chatting at you guys oh my god they totally got carried away means you should never talk politics and religion right so it's pretty nice and clean it's not not perfect it never is but that's kind of the look I'm going for yeah yeah that's true I mean it's everywhere I don't know I honestly don't know how they're supposed to avoid at all so so from here I'm gonna I'm gonna clear wax this whole piece again and then I'm gonna come back and do my dark waxes C on my top and because it has a wood stain top and then I'll be done the hardware oh I'm sorry I'm gonna put some gold in here some gold on the tops of these maybe the tops of this Ridge here I don't know we'll see and then my original hardware I'm cleaning up and then I'll be done with this one and then this everyone probably thinks I'm crazy this has a base of orange I went over it with green it's going to be cool I promise did I seal this first yes I seal with clear wax before I start putting glaze on and the reason is is because chalking is porous and it will start absorbing whatever you put on top of it so if you glaze on top of an unwashed piece your paint will start absorbing the glaze and then you can't wipe it back you see how much I've been wiping this back put it on right back off and if it's unsealed you won't be able to wipe it off like that it will your paint will suck it up that's how you get that more you know messy glazed look which if that's what you're going for then you don't necessarily have to wax but you won't have as much control over where your glaze goes so yes gold for sure I'm putting gold on it I don't know where yet I'll have to seize just some gold gilding wax we'll go over this so glaze all clear wax again I'm going to do some dark waxes glow gilding wax my hardware
