Using the Frenchic Blending Brush
Ensure the surface is clean, dry and suitably prepared before painting.
Choose paints and decorative products that are compatible with your intended technique.
Load the brush with a suitable amount of paint, depending on the decorative effect you want to create.
Use controlled brush strokes to blend colours or distribute paint across the surface.
For blended finishes, work carefully where two colours meet to soften the transition between them.
Practise your chosen technique on a test surface before painting the main project.
Creating Ombré and Blended Colour Effects
The Frenchic Blending Brush can be used to create gradual transitions between two or more paint colours.
Apply the chosen colours to the prepared surface according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.
Use the blending brush to gently work where the colours meet while the paint remains suitable for blending.
Blend using light, controlled strokes to create the desired transition.
Avoid excessive brushing as the paint begins to dry.
Dry Brushing and Paint Washes
The wide, flat brush head is suitable for decorative dry-brushing techniques.
For dry brushing, load a small quantity of compatible paint onto the bristles and remove most of the excess before applying.
Use light strokes to highlight raised details, decorative features and surface texture.
The brush can also be used for compatible paint-wash techniques where a softer, more translucent decorative finish is required.
Follow the selected paint manufacturer's instructions before diluting paint or creating a wash.
Using with Frenchic Easy Crackle
The Frenchic Blending Brush may be used to apply the top paint layer during suitable Frenchic Easy Crackle projects.
Follow the Easy Crackle product instructions for surface preparation, application and drying times.
Avoid overworking the paint layer while the crackle effect develops.
Test the technique on a sample surface before applying it to the main project.
Cleaning and Storage
Clean the brush promptly after use to prevent paint from drying within the bristles.
For compatible water-based paints, wash using warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
For other paint formulations, follow the cleaning instructions supplied by the paint manufacturer.
Gently reshape the bristles after cleaning.
Allow the brush to dry thoroughly before storing.
Store in a clean, dry location without placing pressure on the bristles.
