INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.

- Use a #12 Flat brush and Americana Lamp Ebony Black to base coat the entire canvas. (Ignore this step if you have a black canvas)
- Place stencil off center to add interest. Load a cosmetic sponge with Titanium White and use to base coat the stencil design. Let dry completely.
- Load a new cosmetic sponge with Scorching Yellow. Lightly dab on the center in a circular motion.
- Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Thermal Green and blending into the Scorching Yellow while still wet.
- Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Electric Blue blending into the Thermal Green while still wet.
- Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Dioxazine Purple blending into the Electric Blue while still wet.
