Searching for Artisanal Paint? DIY Paint is the answer.

Are all chalk paints the same? Is DIY Paint yet another chalk paint? No! DIY Paint is a very richly pigmented, clay-based paint. It is non-toxic and has no VOCs. And, there is no latex, i.e. plastic, in this paint. What does that even mean? It means you can water-activate it over and over and move the paint until you seal it. For busy people, it means you can paint part of a piece of furniture, stop, come back to it a week later, wet the paint, and keep going. I had a piece I let sit for 6 months, and I was able to pick up where I left off. You can thin the paint with water and paint fabric, such as a sofa, chair, and even your clothes. The color intensity does not thin out like acrylics, watercolor, or other chalk-based paints. And, to set it, you use heat, such as a dryer, or a heat gun. It acts like watercolor, and allows you to do all sorts of techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet on dry, blending, color layering in ways that other paints just cannot. Trust me, I have tried. If you do not like something you have painted, this paint will cover up what you do not like. It is beautifully opaque. As I add more to the site, I will share demonstrations of how I do these techniques. In the meantime, come visit me at Eclectic Finds in Mt. Pleasant where you will find this magnificent paint, along with furniture, canvases, and other ephemera I have painted.
