Wooden Table Painting with Acrylics- A step by step guide
Share
I created a table out of a wood plank for my kid. It’s a multi purpose play table for exploring with colors, sand and dough without the worry of making a mess.
In this tutorial I will take you along a step by step guide on how I painted the table and gave it a vibrant and uplifting look. Paints I used are all acrylics and the brushes and more details can be viewed below
Happy crafting ^_^

Clean the wood and the area you want to paint with damp cloth |
Seal the raw wood with Mod Podge or any other sealer |
I used these sponge brushes |
Prime the wood using a primer. I used Gesso bby Sakura Acrylic Color |

Apply two coats (Wait for the first coat to dry up completely before applying second) |
Mask the area you don’t want your paint to go |
I applied two coats of Prussian Blue for side support |
Used this brush to paint inside the corners |
