I also use a porters navy which to be honest I prefer as it’s a bit deeper. Also I find with navy you need more coats of paint than you would think to get the correct hue,<br />Hope that helps<br />Fiona<br />Fiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-49375222723875897662017-09-19T08:24:35.691+10:002017-09-19T08:24:35.691+10:00Hi Fiona - just love all your navy painting.

I have found the chalk paint navy not as dark as I would like but once it's waxed in the dark wax it has a beautiful depth to it otherwise it looks a bit peacocky. Have you had to custom mix to get a deep navy?

Thanks for the tip.<br />I’m so glad the Italy blogs posts brought back good memories. Gosh we had a good time.<br />Have a good weekend<br />Fiona <br />Fiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-81970792032112117842017-09-19T08:22:50.896+10:002017-09-19T08:22:50.896+10:00Good morning Fiona,

What a wonderful experience for your children. <br />Take care and kind regards<br />Bob Walker. <br />Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-88911185865081395272017-09-11T15:16:51.055+10:002017-09-11T15:16:51.055+10:00Lovely flowers.
