Spoon story
but you don’t look sick!

PREPARATION
Seal the new rolling pin with Krylon Matte Fin- ish Spray.
LET’S PAINT
Paint back of the MPC banner with Zinc. It is important to do this first! You don’t want to mess up the front later. If you miss this step use GLAD Press’n Seal Plastic Wrap on the front to protect it later.
Using a 1" filbert or wash brush, slip-slap front of the banner with Burlap, Pebble, Mississippi Mud and Raw Umber. Keep the lighter colors toward the center and use very little Raw Umber. Be careful not to over-blend the colors. You want to see the varied hues but no harsh division lines. Let dry.
