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
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

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

school house
Adding the first house
and
some sheep
Lots of 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.
Now to paint the chairs!
I painted the seat
and
back of the chair
with
Lamp Black
so it would resemble
a
chalkboard
