Hi. I’m Leanne, a painter and decorator working in Winchester under the name Leanne’s Lick of Paint. Professionally trained, I have worked on a variety of projects from heritage buildings, to full-scale renovations, to upcycling and transforming pieces of furniture. This has involved everything from exterior and interior painting, using a variety of finishes, wallpaper hanging, wood staining, varnishing and upcycling techniques such as decoupage.
I’m here to help you gain the knowledge and confidence you need so you can ditch the decorator and create a finished room that looks stunning and impactful, quickly and efficiently. No more having to negotiate your way through the tradesman minefield and work out if the service you’re receiving is good value or if you’re going to get the end result you wished for. You can have the knowledge to be able to plan the finished room, and execute it cleanly, quickly and efficiently. Plus you will have the satisfaction of having learnt a new skill!
Sign up for my series of 6 video masterclasses and you can watch me walk you through the perfect paint job from start to finish, sharing all the tricks of the trade with you as we go along.
Video 1: Planning your colour scheme: I’ll show you how to plan and prepare – how to choose the right colours, how to use colour samples, how colour is affected by light, and how feature walls work.
Video 2: Selecting your paint and tools: I’ll demonstrate all of the practical stuff – the right lighting and ventilation, how to calculate how much paint you need, of what types, the right rollers and brushes to use – long or short pile?
Video 3: Preparing your room: I’ll show you how to approach the room, what you have to move and what you don’t, how to use sheets and tape, the crucial art of preparing the surfaces, goggles and a kettle, and where, when and how to start.
Video 4: Painting your walls: I’ll explain why you should paint one wall at a time, show you how to paint the ceiling, demonstrate cutting in and the W motion, and how NOT to paint yourself into a corner!
Video 5: Painting your woodwork: I’ll demonstrate why painting woodwork is different, again the correct paints and brushes to use, how to prepare it, and how and when to do it in relation to the rest of the room.
Video 6: Your perfect finish: I’ll show you how much drying time you need. I’ll demonstrate how to remove tape, how best to clean your tools, and of course how to get that perfect final look.
