Cadence Very Chalky Wash Effect – Highlight the Beauty of Natural Wood

Cadence Very Chalky Wash Effect is a semi-transparent, ultra-matte, water-based paint designed to enhance wooden textures without covering them. Ideal for rustic, Nordic, or vintage aesthetics, this paint allows wood to remain visible while adding subtle, natural color tones.

What is a Wash Effect?

The wash effect technique involves applying diluted or semi-transparent paint in a way that the surface below remains visible. It's perfect for furniture, wall panels, or decorative wooden objects where natural grain and knots are meant to shine through.

Application Guide

1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
2. Can be applied on raw wood or pre-painted (water-based) surfaces.
3. Use a sponge, soft brush, or wood grain tool for application.
4. Can be thinned with Cadence Glazing Medium to adjust transparency.
5. For added texture, wipe or blend to create a weathered or antique look.
