Instructions:
1. Sand the pallet shape lightly before adding color. Wipe down with soft rag.
2. Water color down so it looks like a stain mix. Apply to pallet and let dry.
3. Paint stem (same technique) and let dry.
4. Add vine (free hand or with a stencil)
5. Stencil word in center of pallet. I use foam round brushes and dab off paint. Less is more
and in this case. If you use to much paint, it will bleed under the stencil and make a mess.
6. Sand pallet lightly for a distressed look. Wipe with soft cloth.
7. Speckle with black watered down paint.
8. Seal project with acrylic mat or gloss sealer.
