Golden Touch

Each person is responsible for bringing their own paints, and for having the piece prepped before the class starts.  Please contact Hattie for a list of the colors you will need to bring with you.

TOUCH OF GOLD – PREPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

 The design surface should be at least 6” x 8”.    A flat panel, box or plate (10” diameter) will work well.   There will be 2 patterns of the rose; the original for the 6” X 8” surface and a larger one.

Sand the item, seal and base coat; using Black, Black Green, or for a mix of Napa Red + Black (about 1.5 part red to 1 part black).  If you decide to use the red base, adjust the color with a little more red if you want the red to show.  But, remember to keep the base color dark.

Sand lightly and apply a second coating of base color.

Be sure to bring your base color with you for any touch-up during the painting.
