| Oil base on the foundation after sanding and priming with an oil based primer. First lesson in completing a piece of fine art is knowing what kind of paint to use and where. I then used liquitex acrylic soft bodied art paints for the decorative work. |

| closeup of the design on top of dresser. I used metallic antique bronze for accents and also touched up the old hardware with this paint before putting a clear sealer over them. The decoratively painted surfaces all got a couple of coats of clear satin lacquer to protect the paint. |

| Another closeup.... when painting with acrylic art paints on furniture you must finish the piece with a clear sealer of some sort, either water based poly urethane ( brushed on ) or a spray lacquer. I used satin finish lacquer that has the same sheen as the satin finish oil paint I used for the foundation color. |
