Thyme to show you a childs table and chair set I painted using John Sliney designs

I purchased this 

unfinished wood 

table and chair

and

decided to paint 

a

JOHN SLINEY DESIGN

on it

My main inspiration for this project 

was
 a design
by

John Sliney 

called

JORDAN GOES TO SCHOOL

The design can be found in the book

A ROAD TO SALTBOX MEMORIES

I used other designs 

by

John Sliney
 as
 inspiration to complete this project

My Pallette

Americana Acrylic Paints

Winter Blue, Titanium White, Lamp Black, Burnt Umber, Antique Gold, Sand, Buttermilk, Light Hauser green, Medium Hauser Green, Dark Hauser green, Plantation Pine, Rockwood Red, Midnight Blue, French Grey Blue, Light French Grey Blue, Slate Grey

I used painter's tape to create the border around my table
I painted it
Lamp Black

I re-applied painters tape to the border once the
 Lamp Black
was dry
so that I could start working on the center of the table

I painted the center of the table 
Winter Blue
and
Hauser Light Green

I transferred the design
using
graphite paper

transferring church design

I wanted the design to go all around the table

Here I am adding some shading for the hills

Painting the trees
and
school house

Adding the first house
 and
some sheep

I keep a small blow dryer handy 

to 

dry the paint more quickly

I use the largest possible brush always 

for 

my shading

which is a 1" flat brush

I also have on hand several size mop brushes

Lots of sheep!

Painting the flag

I added the alphabet to the boder using white graphite paper
I painted the lettering
with
Titanium White
It gives the appearance of chalk
 on a
chalk board.

I added some apples also!

Continuing to paint the houses 

and 

white picket fences.

Adding some clouds in the sky!

The lettering is done 

NOW

to finish all the apples! 

Now to paint the chairs!

I painted the seat
and
back of the chair
with 
Lamp Black
so it would resemble
a
chalkboard

After all my pieces were painted
 I gave them several coats
of

Americana Decor
Soft Touch Varnish

DecoArt

 to complete this project as part of its
