Step 1
Plate 1
Fill half the small spray bottle with Abyss black paint and the other half with thinner. Mix well by shaking.
Spray the plate generously with Abyss black paint. Leave to dry, then quickly dip a paintbrush in the Vermeil gold paint and, holding it above the plate, tap the brush on to the handle of a larger brush to flick flecks of Vermeil gold onto the surface. Leave to dry, then use this technique again with the Ivory paint.
