Athenian Black Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is a fabulous deep, true black which will give a dramatic look to any item your paint it with. This colour has been used for centuries in old ceramics and is reminiscent of old black and white tiles, often used in period hallways. Pair it with neutrals such as Country Grey or Original, or as a contrast try Primer Red.
I use the Chalk Paint Bristle Brush for my pieces of furniture, this allows me to build up colour quickly, and will give me a textured finish if I am wanting it.
Alternatively, use one of Annie Sloan Flat Brushes for a smoother, contemporary finish.
1 litre is enough to cover approximately 13 square metres.
