PAINTING TIPS
n Work in the order listed, allowing for drying time where indicated. Paint should be dry to the touch be- fore proceeding to the next step. No color mixing is required; all colors as indicated are straight from the bottles.
n No water is added to paint for thin- ning. Plaid FolkArt Floating Medium is the only thinner used in the One StrokeTM technique – apply, where indicated, by dipping the brush into Floating Medium and blending on the palette before stroking. This is necessary approximately every three strokes, as needed, to prevent dry edges and paint skipping on canvas.
n No additional canvas preparation is required if using a pre-primed stretched canvas.
