The borders along the top edge of the box are basecoated with Lamp (Ebony) Black. Using the #12 flat brush, place long, consistent strokes of Extreme Sheen 24K Gold to cover but allow a small amount of Lamp (Ebony) Black to show through.
FINISHING
Preserve your beautifully painted box by giving it a good coat or two of DuraClear Gloss Varnish. Varnish the feet, and use a good wood glue to attach the feet to the bottom corners of the box.
Enjoy your work, sign it, and celebrate a job well done!
