Paint + Paintbrush + Water = how to paint furniture without brush strokes. It sounds like simple math and actually, it is. It’s all about keeping the paint moving and adding a fine mist of water with your chalk mineral paint to keep it workable. Also, make sure that you apply the paint in thin coats. It’s better to apply multiple coats than one thick coat of chalk mineral paint. Watch the video above for the full tutorial. I don’t want you to miss any important details.

I love this video, but I will be using latex. Does the same principle hold true with this and other water based paints?
Hi Rebecca!
Great question. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Latex-based paints cant be used with this technique. Yes, they are both water-based paints but react differently. For this reason, I no longer use latex paint on furniture. Not saying you can’t. It’s just my preference. I hope this helps.
Happy painting! 🙂
This was very informational, thank you! I love the Tea Rose color! I have found that for Latex paint there is a product additive that so far seems to offer the answer…
