The first step is to give the table a base color. I started by lightly sanding the table before painting. I have chosen a cast iron black. I used a soft brush and thinned the paint with matte medium to help the paint move smoothly into the grain of the table. I wanted the beautiful graining it the wood to remain. I then added a layer of clear matte medium to the top to seal the black before the next step. (this is not a varnish) Wow that little table really does look nice already! I am designing an image for the top. Because this is a Chess Board I am going to attempt to do a Mid-Evil Castle. Dave loves Mid-Evil Art and I enjoy creating it.
