Define the perimeter of the boat by using the palette knife to apply shades and highlights. Load the edge or tip of the palette knife with the appropriate color, remov- ing excess paint by wiping it on the palette. Apply White Wash along the top of the boat and Soft Black along the bottom (Boat, Step 3).
Using the rubber stamp and ink pad, apply the leaf de- sign to the appropriate areas of Rectangles 4 and 6.
With inky Georgia Clay, use the no. 6 round to paint
the areas of both of these rectangles that lie under the boat. Let this dry completely.
FINISHING
Allow the entire piece to dry. Using the permanent marker, go over the lines that border each rectangle. When the entire piece is completely dry, apply DecoArt Ameri- cana Acrylic Sealer/Finisher Gloss according to the manu- facturer’s instructions.
