This chalky Venetian Mid Grey Colour is a clean grey and lends itself to have contrast colour chalk finish paint colour 2 tone effect or a wash over the top.

Da Vinci's  Chalky Paint Finish is a self-priming chalky paint in a range of Shabby Chic Colours inspired by Renaissance painters. It can be a base coat, a second coat or a single coat finish. This unique decorative finish is developed for furniture, floors and walls.

Some ideas you can use Giovanni Bellini

  • Venetian is a stark neutral grey that lends itself to be used as a base coat for another colour to go over the top and distressed back with sandpaper
  • Venetian is colour neutral which means it compliments other colours rather than oppose
  • Venetian is a strong base colour but can be softened by using the white wash effect. once Venetian is dry apply a thinned (with Roma wash) coat of Renaissance white and wipe the excess off with a damp rag as per the photo.
Once finished for protection you could:
  • apply a coat of clear soft wax to leave a smooth satin finish
  • apply a clear soft wax and once dry apply a dark soft wax for an antique look
  • For a hardwearing finish such as a table top then we recommend Glaze & Medium for a satin clear finish
  • Leave Au natural as a matt finish
Venice's geographic location made it less susceptible to outside influences - another factor which contributed to its unique artistic style. Something about the light in Venice, too, made a difference. This was an intangible variable, to be sure, but it had an enormous impact.
For all of these reasons, during the Renaissance Venice gave birth to a distinct school of painting
