Glazing

• If you don't want to put in a lot of time, money and effort but still want to give the painted surface of furniture an aged appearance, use glazing techniques. Antiquing in this way is really a simple three0-step process involving rolling glaze onto the surface, working the glaze in with a rag and then adding some flecks by tapping a brush against a wooden ruler. The most effective way to add age is to use colors like umber or sienna mixed with small flecks of black or gold.
