INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour each color of Media Fluid into its own cup, making an extra cup of Titanium White.
- Add equal parts of Pouring Medium to each cup and stir.
- Layer the colors little by little into one larger cup; use more Titanium White layers than any other color.
- Pour the layered cup over the entire canvas and move it around to cover the area. Let the piece dry completely.
- Prop the canvas up so that it's at a true 45-degree angle. (See photo.) Pour Clear Pouring Topcoat over the whole canvas. Allow to dry completely.
- Use a small brush to add Matte Decou-Page randomly to chosen areas on the canvas where you want to add the metallic leaf.
- While the Decou-Page is still wet or tacky, lay the metallic leaf over the previously decou-paged area. Let dry completely.
- Once fully dry, use a paintbrush in a circular motion to rub away excess metallic leaf from the areas that were not painted in Decou-Page.
