In this project, a previously finished (translate: bought at a garage sale) chest of drawers is painted, antiqued, and given a top of painted faux marble.

This is a rapidly moving, fun how-to demonstration of what can be done in a couple of hours to create a lovely, useful piece from an ugly beginning. Lots of products and techniques are shown here, including: different kinds of surface prep (sanding vs. chemical etching), primers, primer/sealers, masking, paint sheens, glazes and glazing, sponges, feathers, spattering, pastels, color mixing, acrylic varnishes, and "positive" style faux marble.

An introduction includes initial explanations of sandpapers, grit sizes and types of abrasives; sanding blocks and power sanders; dustmasks and respirators; paint and varnish brushes for water and oil-based products; and the composition and terminology of paints and varnishes.

The DVD includes all of the downloads from both Volume 1 and Volume 2.
