PROJECT SUPPLIES:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Basecoat with two coats of Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal. Let dry.

2 | Mix the Glass Bead Gel with Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics in Carbon Black for a mid-dark gray and a bit of water to make it easier to roll.

3 | Lay your stencil pattern down and secure with tape or stencil adhesive to prevent seepage. In this case, we were going for the look of a mermaid tail, so we used a scallop pattern. Roll on a base of the tinted, thinned Glass Bead Undercoat over the stencil, ensuring it doesn’t seep under. Remove the stencil to clean it and let the pattern dry.

4 | Mix your Glass Bead Gel XL with Bright Silver Metallic Paint (60%) and Pewter Metallic Paint (40%).

5 | Brush the custom colored Glass Bead Gel XL over the pattern carefully.

6 | Dry areas before laying the stencil over the wet parts. Once done, let dry completely.

About the Artist
With hands permanently covered in plaster and paint, Caroline Lizarraga is happiest working in Old World ways. She trained for her craft in the cobblestoned streets of Florence, Italy, and continues to bring that antiquated sensibility to all of her projects today. You’ll find her on every job site, working each layer of color and detailing solely by hand. She’s passionate not only about creating amazing interior environments but also in helping her clients find and express their own distinctive style. No two jobs are ever alike. Whether it’s a boutique hotel in Napa Valley, an expansive winery estate, or a private residence, her approach is always the same: create a space that is utterly authentic and magically artful.
