INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Basecoat in Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 eggshell sheen with low nap roller and let dry. Roll on the White Veil Metallic Paint with low nap roller and let dry.
2 | Mix two color glazes. First, mix your blue glaze with one part Glazing Medium to one part Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics. Second, mix your green glaze with two parts Golden Paintworks Glazing Medium, one part Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics, and one part Hansa Yellow Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics. Apply the blue and green glazes with a chip brush at desired opal accent areas. A diagonal movement flows nicely. Soften with Badger Brush. Let dry.
