Layer the e ects
The most fun of all is layering a
whole bunch of e ects to get the
look you need for your project.
If you get to a point where you hate
it or a piece of it is looking muddy,
just take some white gesso, paint
it on or use a putty knife to texture
it on, and start over—either on the
entire piece or just the part you
don’t like.
This is not a fi nished project (above),
but a sampling of various techniques
used together to encourage you to
get out all the paints and tools and
have at it.
Some of the techniques used above
are explained in other chapters;
check the index.
