Instructions:
Gather your supplies.

Prime your panel using Americana Premium Medium – White Gesso. Two coats is plenty!

If you like your paintings to have a heavily textured look, mix the Americana Premium Medium – Heavy Gel Medium Gloss in with the Acrylics using your palette knife before you begin.

If you’re right handed - Paint in the details from left to right so your hand doesn’t smudge your work!

Finally, decide on the finish you would like your painting to have. This painting was coated with a thin layer of the Matte Medium.
