  Step 1

  Wipe tray with soft cloth to remove excess powder residue.

  For sandy beach, use blunt 1/4 inch shader brush lightly pounce a random application of first layer of Ginger Sprinkles underglaze to bottom third of tray face, extending over outside edges. To create a graduated color effect, apply a second coat, beginning slightly below where first coat started. Let dry.

  Step 2

  To create irregularly shaded water effect, use fingertips to apply Bright Carribean underglaze directly to top 2/3 of tray, extending over outside edges of tray. Apply a very light layer over the first layer of the Ginger Sprinkles, creating a sand through the shallow water effect. Mix 2-3 drops of Green Apple underglaze with 2-3 drops of Bright Caribbean, apply over first coat, from edge of water extending approximately 1/2 way upward.

  Use fingertips to paint entire back side of tray with Bright Caribbean underglaze. Let dry.

  Step 3

  In foreground/front bottom of tray, use small round brush and Earthen Moss underglaze to paint 2 palm tree trunks on left side, one slightly shorter, and one on the right edge, extending trunks over bottom outside edge.

  Mix 2-3 drops of Earthen Moss underglaze with 2-3 drops of Dark Taupe underglaze, add small accents of mixed underglaze to some areas of palm tree trunks. Let dry. Use edge of clean-up tool to lightly etch random horizontal marks into tree trunks to create bark effect.
