Annie Sloan • Paint & Colour

  ANNIE SLOAN WORK BOOK

My Work Book is a sketch book with 3 pockets for your scraps and cuttings, with notes about colour and style and about my paint.  It's a sort of scrapbook/ sketchbook. It was inspired by Tawnya Norton who has a store called C'est Moi' in Tennessee and she sells my paint. She wrote to me one day;

Good Morning Annie, I was wondering if you ever thought of offering a journal. Something people could take notes in at the workshop and jot down ideas and maybe keep color recipes in that they have created even maybe add a place for photo's. I guess I see it has journal and portfolio combined.

I thought this was a great idea

So that's what I did and this is the result. 

Using drawings of a chair leg, I describe different styles of furniture - this one's Rococo. There's also Modern, Classical, Asian and Rustic. I have suggested which colours could be used historically.

There are three pockets for keeping your fabric swatches, cuttings and samples.

There is stuff about colour theory.
Lots of my stockists will be running workshops on colour too.

There's really nice paper that can take paint.  

This is what Amy Chalmers, another of my stockists, of Maison Decor in Boston did in some of her pages!

The Annie Sloan Work Book is only available from my stockists.

PS.  When you get your book, start working with it then photograph it and post your pictures on your Pinterest board. Call your board 'Annie Sloan Work Book'.  I'm going to repin the ones I really love on to my boards on Pinterest.

PPS. Thank you very much Tawnya for a terrific idea!
