INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Use a 3/4 flat brush to paint the canvas in Rouge, let dry. Paint the next layer in Escape and immediately sprinkle with Dry Time Extender. Let set for approximately 30 minutes.

2. Use a paper towel to wipe off the paint. Everywhere you sprinkled the Dry Time Extender the color from the first layer will be revealed.

3. (the same process will be repeated with third layer) Use a 3/4 flat brush and paint the entire surface with Timeless and immediately sprinkle with Dry Time Extender. Let set for approximately 30 minutes.Use a paper towel to wipe off the paint. Everywhere you sprinkled the Dry Time Extender, the previous layer will be revealed.

4. Randomly place stencil on the canvas and use a cosmetic sponge to dab on Rouge and Rustic. Let dry, and lightly sand for a distressed look.

5. Tear tissue paper into pieces and scrunch up. Use a pencil to trace bunny pattern on burlap paper and cut out with scissors. Use a 3/4 flat brush to adhere grass/tissue paper and bunny with Matte Medium. Brush on canvas first, then seal over the top. Use a #8 round brush to add "stitches" to bunny in Rustic. Use oil pastels in blue and pink for eyes, cheeks and ears.

6. Use a a dark brown oil pastel to outline the bunny (refer to finished photo)
