This is the simplest vid I have seen on how to do this! Thank you!!

Than you for not only demonstrating so well, but also letting us know the ingredients you used. Well explained!

Thank you. I try to make it as simple as possible

You haven't updated in forever but still subbing just in case. Your methods are amazing, easy, and effective, I just hope I can put them into practice soon.

Vaughn, when your talking about the tint, do you mean like minwax stain?

That’s awesome! I like that better than the wood grain took I just bought🤦🏻‍♀️

Right on!

Do you let the first stage of graining to dry before applying the second stage ????

hello. Thank you for such a beautiful video. Tell me, what colors do you use? Is it acrylic or oil?

Vaughn, I don't know if you still read comments or will answer questions, but when you say to seal the panel with glaze, do you then let it dry for an hour or so? I tried this on my threshold (after practicing on poster board & I had sealed it with glaze) It worked fine on my practice piece but not on my project b/c glaze seemed to dry too quickly. One thing I did differently was use primer and acrylic paint (not latex) and also I was working in the sun - don't know if this made a difference. So now I'm going to sand and use latex paint and seal with glaze; do I let that coat of glaze (used as sealant over the latex) dry and if so, for how long. Thank you for any help you can give me - I love all of your videos I have watched so far!

you certainly want the seal coat to dry first....an hour sound good unless its damp. Then it may take longer. The sun can definitely speed up the process. There is a product call flotrol which is a paint conditioner that helps it flow but also extends the drying time.

Can you use 3 color stain for this technique

Thank you Vaughn, excellent video. I had couple of questions. Once you use the finger tips, do you let it dry some, then use the whisk brush? Next when you use the whisk brush do you lightly smooth over it? I just did a test run, finger tips all looked great, but immediately after I tried with brand new whisk brush, and I think maybe I needed to lightly go over as it left some parts with marks. Overall it looked decent for my first test. Thx. Daniel

The trick is to get the right amount of paint on the surface. If it is too thick you will end up with the finger pulled areas being too high. In other words keep your graining solution just thick enough to spread on the panel. I whisk right away and aggressively. Keep a pail of water close to clean the whisk like Bob Ross cleans his bigger brushes. The reason the whisk works so well is that it pulls paint away instead of smoothing it which gives you the look of wood fibers.

Great Work. Did you sanded the background after sealing it and prior to do this technique. Thanks from Chile

For most of my faux finishes I try to sand in between coats. Makes for a nicer finish. Usually I like to use "scotch pads" because they are fine and don't leave typical sand paper scratch marks.

Vaughan, that is amazing! Great video. Have you done faux douglas fir? I would imagine might be sort of similar but just a different blend of colors? Unless vg fir which i imagine you'd need to use a tool to get the closer lines? Great instruction.

It is the benny Moore product. We generally refer to any acrylic clear as glaze.

People start off at very different levels of ability. For some of us, art has been part of our lives and we tend to jump to an intermediate level quickly. For others it's a struggle just to find the courage to go to the store and buy some paint. If the program helps getting the mind thinking it has done it purpose. It is intended as a starting point to get a person with no previous experience to indulge in something that they find intimidating and otherwise would not have attempted. Obviously for you the need is there for a greater challenge. My videos start off at intermediate and continue to more challenging level. I have been tardy at producing more videos but intend to make more. I hope this explains . Good luck.
