How do you whitewash brick with chalk paint?

Whitewashing brick with chalk paint is a simple process involving applying chalk paint and wiping off the excess to achieve a desired, subtle, aged look.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Prepare the Brick: Clean the brick surface to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Apply Chalk Paint: Lightly dust chalk paint onto the brick. The referenced video segment highlights applying the paint "very lightly."
3. Remove Excess Paint: Immediately wipe off the excess chalk paint. This is crucial to achieve the whitewashed effect rather than a solid paint coverage. The video emphasizes really easily wiping off the excess.
4. Adjust and Repeat: If the effect is too subtle, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach the desired level of whitewashing. Remember, less is more; it's easier to add more paint than to remove it.
