Painting furniture doesn't have to be complicated. Check out how to easily paint furniture without sanding, and still end up with a professional look.
Yep. I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I’m breaking away from my sanding habit and sharing the secret to how to paint furniture without sanding.
And believe it or not, it feels as smooth, if not smoother than some of my other pieces of painted furniture that I have sanded many many times, just to make it feel smooth.
And! This method passes the scratch / durability test with flying colors.

    Adding water to the paint per se is not bad since the paint contains water (from the name itself, water-based 😆). Do you mean not to add more water? She used 10% water, should she have put 5% add instead? When you said "reduce". I believe you cant use lacquer thinner, or paint thinner to a "water-based" paint. You can add "Floetrol" to ensure none of brush marks left behind

    The wood grain popped up like that because of the water you added into the paint. It caused swelling in the wood. Reduce or don't add the water and then it won't have the grain raise up plus you won't have to apply so many coats. Hope that helps everyone. It turned out beautiful.

    She didn't remove original finish and then put 2 coats of shellac on it before painting. Seems unlikely the water would have seep into the grain. The grain was likely already raised from long term exposure to humidity.
