INSTRUCTIONS
- To create a perfect, beachy vibe, use DecoArt's Coastal Colors Acrylic Paint Set. The kit can be purchased now exclusively on our website! Cover your workspace and collect the paints, brushes and surfaces.
- Before painting, lightly sand the interior of the wood slices until smooth. Remove sanding dust with a damp paper towel.
- For each coaster, select five paint colors from the set. (All the colors co-ordinate perfectly.) I selected three of the blue/green shades and two of the taupe/brown tones.
- Pour out the colors on your palette or plate. As you paint, to keep a wet edge between the colors so they will blend together. Start by painting the outer ring with the darkest blue/green color (Ultramarine Blue in this set). Slightly overlapping the first ring of color, layer in Baby Blue.
- Next, layer in the third blue (Peacock Teal). Paint uneven rounds and add another ring towards the center.
- Add curved lines of brown paint (Dark Chocolate), blending in with the blues. Swirl in lines of Snow (Titanium) White, overlapping with previous colors.
- Repeat the steps above with the following color combinations True Blue, Bahama Blue, Baby Blue, Teal Mint, and Natural Buff. Combo 3: Ocean Blue, Peacock Teal, Dessert Sand, Bahama Blue, and Pebble. Combo 4: Peacock Teal, Bahama Blue, Teal Mint, Pebble, and Snow (Titanium) White.
- Once the paints are completely dry, you can add a coat of DuraClear High Gloss Varnish for durability.
