This project showcases the Gatewood Barn that Leon Gatewood built in the mid-1940's.

VINTAGE BARN PAINTING

Regular price$28.00

These paintings appear lightly sketched with warm undertones. Each painting includes a clip to easily hang the item. Purchase this painting for a living space to create a vintage studio feel or a sense of nostalgia.

Part II, step 1 - position and glue evenly

Part II, step 2- let glue dry 15-20 min

Part II, step 3- paint on coat 1 of  ModgePodge. Let dry.

Part II, step 4-paint on a second coat - let dry 15-20 min

The fun part - the part where the texture begins to come through. The dried finish feels like linen. especially in Matte. It dries quickly (15-20 min) if the finish is not gobbed on. Be slow and steady. Apply 2 coats, drying 15-20 min between each coat. Try to hold back: less is more!

Daddy's Barn

I decided to place a picture of the base/seal for the barn, a salvaged bridge timber, on the back of the board along with the copied article from the newspaper about "Daddy's Barn."

Finished Project

Part II, step 5- After both sides of the project have dried, spray with a clear sealer (also a ModgePodge product). Spray both sides. Let dry 15-20 minutes between coats. 

Do not over-spray because the sealant will drip if too much is applied.
