DecoArt’s new Media Fluid Acrylics offer the versatility of transparent washes as well
as opaque coverage. Mediums and antiquing gels create unique and exciting results.
PREPARATION
Spray surface with Matte Spray Sealer/Finisher (If using a metal sur- face other than the one listed, spray with Krylon Dual Satin Ivory Paint & Primer and allow to dry thorough- ly). Trace design onto tracing paper. Lightly transfer the main pattern lines using transfer paper and a sty- lus. Transfer details as needed. Apply painter’s tape around the outer edge of the center area to mask the edges.
