Materials:
FolkArt Artist's Acrylics (Sap Green, Pure Black, Alizarin Crimson, True Burgundy )
brushes (#6 and #10 flat brush, 1" square wash brush, #2 script liner)
FolkArt glass and tile medium
white drawing paper
aluminum foil
black fine-tip permanent waterproof marker
rubbing alcohol
lint-free rag
Steps:
- Clean the glass with rubbing alcohol. Evenly apply a generous coat of glass and tile medium. Note: It's very important to allow it to dry for at least 48 hours .
- Place the glass over the chosen design and use the marker to neatly trace the entire image onto the coated side of the glass.
- Use a slightly wet liner brush and black to carefully paint the entire background and around the design. Do this carefully and slowly to avoid mistakes (wipe any immediately ). Let dry.
- Apply a second coat of black paint to the background so it's opaque. Let dry .
- Add a translucent layer of Alizarin Crimson to the entire flower. Use True Burgundy on half the brush to add light shading and dimension. Let dry.
- Use the same technique to paint the leaves Sap Green. Let dry.
- Crumple the foil and open it up without removing all the wrinkles. Put the glass /design on top of the foil and adjust the wrinkles as necessary.
