Russian Inspired Table

052-05

This project is inspired by the Russian Zhostovo technique and designed specially to be painted on a round table. The technique involves filbert strokework aided by “Magic Mix” and is really enjoyable, provided you relax and learn to let the brush do the work for you! Definitely worth the effort and rewarding when you hear the “ooohs’ and “aaahs” once the table is proudly displayed in your living room.
