INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Basecoat in white color of choice. SW Alabaster was used.
2 | Use the Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic colors Carbon Black, Raw Umber, Yellow Ochre and SOAPSTONE TEXTURE MIX (Soapstone Texture and Glass Bead Undercoat) to create two colors similar to SW Believable Buff and SW 7016.
3 | Trowel on simultaneously the two colors of Soapstone Texture mix. Let dry.

5 | Tinted to SW Believable Buff at 25% strength. I “buttered” my blade and tapped on plaster then scraped down to flatten. Add more as necessary until satisfied. Let dry.

6 | Apply design. To create triangle motif, tape out design or use an adhesive stencil.
7 | Mix Glazing Gel with Metallic Silver paint and aluminum powder and trowel into taped-off areas.

About the Artist
Not sure how to make a living as a fine artist, Deanne Lenehan decided she would become an art teacher like her grandmother who had nurtured her talent from an early age. During her first year of teaching a friend requested a mural for her daughter’s room. She loved being able to paint and be her own boss so she was sold immediately. Lenehan Studios specializes in unique and innovative painted solutions for interiors which include faux finishes, murals, custom fine art, and more. She loves to collaborate with interior designers and clients alike to create unique and beautiful spaces that will be enjoyed for years. Lenehan has served clients across the mid-Atlantic and loves to travel wherever the project may take her. See more of her extensive portfolio at lenehanstudios.com. Connect with her on Instagram @lenehanstudios.
