Creative Paint Workshop for Mixed-Media Artists

Load a flat bristle brush with heavy-bodied acrylic in a darker

color. With the brush on its side, gently touch the surface of the

raised letters.

Using a different color. add another thin glaze of fluid transpar-

ent acrylic over part of the area. In fact, you can add several

more glazes, but be sure to let each layer dry before you apply

the next.

Provided the paint is not too wet, the letters will appear roughly

painted to emphasize texture. Allow to dry.

Photocopy a messy stencil against a white sheet of paper. The

white letters outlined with splashes of paint can look spectacular.
