BACKGROUND
STEP 1: Center the pattern and secure it with tape onto the surface. Place carbon paper between the pattern and surface. Next, trace the pattern onto the surface using a stylus.
STEP 2: With the no. 12 chisel shader, apply Titanium White on the background. Next, add a touch of Yellow Ochre Light and blend the colors together on the surface, softening in all directions using the crisscross technique. Use the same brush to paint the center of the surface with Titanium White.
