Front of Banner Seal the entire banner with Multi Purpose Sealer; using the glaze wash brush. Lightly sand; wipe off with a lint-free cloth. 2. Back of Banner Following the instructions on the Media Gesso, randomly apply to the backside of the banner. Pick up a small quantity of Gesso with the edge of the palette knife and begin applying it to the surface. Work with small amounts at a time to give you more control. Your application should be thin. Lay the knife flat to apply the medium, then stand it up on the edge to lightly scrape away excess. Apply randomly in small overlapping patches to avoid developing a set pattern. Randomly allow areas of the wood surface to remain free from the Gesso application; these areas will take the basecoat color differently and add more interest. When dry, lightly sand across the Gesso to remove any loose or sharp pieces; wipe off with a lint-free cloth. 3. Tissue Background Prep Cut a piece of the Melange tissue paper a bit larger than the surface area. Apply a thin, even coat of the Media Matte Medium to the surface area where the tissue will be placed. Affix the tissue on the surface over the Matte Medium, smooth out. Allow to dry. Apply a thin, even coat of the Matte Medium over the tissue. Allow to dry. Trim the tissue close to the surface edge. Then with the emery board, sand any excess tissue off, leaving a nice clean finished edge. 4. Background Basecoat Pick up a small amount of a Blue mixture (Cobalt Blue Hue + Quinacridone Violet 2:1) on a dampened blue shop towel, rouge off on your palette and then rouge color over the tissue paper surface. Allow to dry. Apply a thin, even coat of the Matte Medium over the surface. Allow to dry. 5. Bubble Stenciling With the Bubble stencil and Payne s Grey, stencil over the left and right ends of the banner; using the M stencil brush. Position the stencil on the surface; refer to photo for placement. Secure with the Frog Tape, stencil adhesive or hold with your fingers. 2 artistsclub.com

3 Load the medium stencil brush with a bit of Payne s Grey, swirl the brush on a blue shop towel to remove excess. Apply color in a circular motion one direction and then in a circular motion in the other direction (changing directions frequently) over the stencil. Fill in some of the design fully and leave other areas incomplete. Carefully remove stencil by holding one end with your fingers and lifting the opposite end. Clean stencil and brush immediately; using the DecoMagic Cleaner. Lightly mist over the surface area with Americana Matte spray. 6. Transferring Design Transfer the design to the surface; refer to photo for placement. Transfer any straight lines to the surface by dragging the stylus along the ruler s edge. 7. Background Shrubs Load the heel of the med Texture brush with Payne s Grey and the toe with Snow White, slightly dance on your palette to blend between the two colors, then dance in the shrubs behind the structure setting. Repeat the step. Load the med Texture brush with Snow White, dance across the top of the shrubs; for snow. For the proper use of the Texture Brush, use the following method: Dampen the bristles with water to start the separation of bristles. Tap bristles into the paint on your palette, hold it perpendicular to your palette, pounce it up and down to get some of the paint off keeping the paint sparse on the brush. Note this brush can be used on the whole foot or just the toe. Tap lightly on the surface, dance with the brush up and down, rolling the brush in different directions in between your fingers when it is up in the air (like dancing the twist, light on your feet). Allow some drying time in between dances so the paint sets up and you don t end up with a globby or muddy look. 8. Background Pines With a pencil and graph ruler, transfer the center line for each pine. Work only on a couple of pines at a time. Slightly pre-dampen the surface area with clean water. This will help the paint bleed; giving the boughs a softer effect and place them in the distance. Use the 8 Filbert loaded with the Hauser Dark Green across the chisel edge. Up on the chisel edge, slightly pull the top of the pine. Tapping from left to right for the boughs, slowly and slightly widening as you work towards the base of the pine. Allow a bit of the background to show through; so the pine doesn t look like a triangle. When dry, randomly repeat tapping the Black Green over the boughs; to deepen a few areas. Repeat the same steps with the remaining pines. When dry, repeat the same steps with Snow White; for snow. 9. Main Design Basecoat Use the appropriate size shaders to basecoat the design: Cadmium Red barn walls Grey Sky silo walls 10. Silos With the 5/0 liner and Zinc, pull the lines on the silo walls. Corner load the angle with Zinc, float shading down the left sides of the silo walls; mop if necessary. Then corner load the angle with Snow White, float highlighting down the right sides of the silo walls; mop if necessary. 11. Barn Walls With the 5/0 liner and Antique Maroon, pull the wall lines. Wash Antique Maroon over the left two walls; using the 6 shader. Corner load the angle with Antique Maroon, float shading across the top of the right two walls; mop if necessary. artistsclub.com 3
