SUPPLIES
- water container
- palette or plastic plate
- paper towels
- rubbing alcohol
- liner brush
- masking tape
- clear tall glass pitcher
- circle or oval pattern
INSTRUCTIONS
- Clean the pitcher with rubbing alcohol and dry well.
- Place the circle/oval pattern inside the glass pitcher. Secure with masking tape, if desired.
- Place a bead of White Americana 3D Gloss Enamels just inside the pattern edge and a large dot in the center.
- Use a liner brush to pull the 3D White from the outside edge toward the center in quick strokes.
- Repeat this technique, pulling the 3D White from the center toward the outside edge. Continue to manipulate the paint with short, choppy strokes.
- Wipe the liner brush clean with a paper towel. Pull the brush from the outside edge toward center to form citrus sections. Wipe the brush clean after each pull. Let dry.
- Repeat the fruit slices in a band around the pitcher. For more interest, make some slices oval-shaped instead of circular. Add twists of peel with Orange, Yellow, or Green Americana Gloss Enamel 3D Writers.
- Brush Crystal Gloss Enamels lightly over the textured citrus area: Yellow for lemons; Green for limes; or Orange for oranges. Place a bead of White Americana 3D Gloss Enamel around the outside edge of the textured area. Let dry.
- Place a bead of 3D rind color (Yellow, Green, or Orange) around the outside edge of the 3D White bead. Let dry.
