INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. You can start with a plain White Canvas board or save a step if you buy a black one.
   
2. 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)
   
3. 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.
   
4. Load a new cosmetic sponge with Scorching Yellow. Lightly dab on the center in a circular motion.
   
5. Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Thermal Green and blending into the Scorching Yellow while still wet.
   
6. Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Electric Blue blending into the Thermal Green while still wet.
   
7. Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Dioxazine Purple blending into the Electric Blue while still wet.
8. Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Sizzling Pink and Fiery Red blending into the Dioxazine Purple while still wet.
   
9. Use a new cosmetic sponge to add a ring of Torrid Orange blending into the Fiery Red while still wet.
   
10. Finish the last little corner with Scorching Yellow. Remove stencil and wash immediately.
    
11. Let your canvas dry completely.
    
12. Use a stencil of choice or even free hand some peace signs using a brush or cosmetic sponge with Snow (Titanium) White.
