The brush must be dry. When Drybrushing, I load my paint from a dry surface, not a wet palette as the moisture will get into the brush and make the paint go on smudgy. I also keep an old towel handy; it is great for cleaning the brush between colors. To start, load the brush by tipping it into the first color, blend out on palette paper then wipe and excess paint off on a paper towel. Lightly scrub the surface to apply the color. Use the brush on 1

its side and scrub side to side or up and down. Start soft then press harder depending how much color you need. The harder you press, the more color you will get. The first drybrush coat should allow some of the background to still show through, additional colors should cover less area that the first coat. Clean the brush as best you can on your old towel, then pick up the next color. Apply in the same manner using less. Float / Shade: I always float my color with the angular shaders. Mop to soften with a Mop. I shade around my design elements before basecoating; I like the softer look I get when I do this. Unless other wise indicated, I shade around the entire shape and deepen in corners and under design elements for more depth. Line: Unless otherwise stated, all lining is done with the #10/0 Liner and the paint watered down to an ink-like consistency. Preparation: Note: Refer to the color photo for shading and detail placement. Apply a thin coat of the DecoArt Media Crackle Paste over each ornament using the palette knife. Let dry. Basecoat the Ornaments as follows: - Star with Moon Yellow - Heart with Pink Chiffon - Birdhouse with Spa Blue Trace on the patterns. Shade each ornament around the designs as follows: - Star - Shade with Mustard Seed. - Heart - shade with Watermelon Slice - Birdhouse - shade with Peacock Teal Painting Instructions: All Angels: Wings Trace and cut out the wings from the White Text Decoupage paper. Apply a coat of DecoArt Media Matte Medium on the ornaments where the wings go. Quickly lay the paper wings onto the surface. Smooth into place with the brush. Let dry. Base over the wings with a wash of Light Buttermilk. 2
