PROJECT SUPPLIES:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Over a wall prepared with white gloss interior latex paint, apply a thin layer of Metallic Texture Tint Base Gold with a trowel and allow to dry.
2 | Using a brush, apply the 24K Gold metallic paint over the metallic texture and cover any white that is showing through. Allow to dry.

3 | Go back over the wall with the metallic texture using a trowel, applying this second coat to most areas. Unevenly leave some areas without the second coat of metallic texture, creating a weathered or distressed antique look. Allow to dry completely.

4 | Make a dark green by mixing Hookers Green, Sap Green, and Burnt Sienna. Using a large filbert head paintbrush, paint a dark layer of leaves over the gold surface.

5 | Tint Hookers Green slightly with Titanium White and add a touch of Burnt Sienna to create a middle green, then paint a layer of leaves overlapping the dark layer in areas.

6 | Using Hookers Green highly tinted with white, paint a light colored layer of leaves on top, again overlapping the other layers in areas. Add highlights and shadows to leaves on the light and middle value layers as desired.
