Step 1 To begin make a design on your DaVinci Ultra Smooth Panel with artist tape. Where ever you place
the tape it will remain white, this technique is called masking. I am taping a diamond shape but you can make any design you like. Make sure to press the tape down well . Tip: Use a craft knife to clean up and ragged tape edges.
Step 2 Mix 4 parts Soho Gloss Gel with 1 part Soho Acrylic Paint to make a transparent paint. Note: We use
Gloss Gel to thin the paint instead of water so it will dry slowly and bond to the panel.
Step 3 Crumple up a plastic shopping bag and dip it in the glaze and using a pouncing and swirling motion
apply it on the panel over the tape.
Step 4 (Use a Creative Inspirations Dura Handle brush to add lines, spatters and a border to your painting.
Tip: You can add a bit of water to the paint to make spattering easier, never add more than 30% water to acrylic paint or it will weaken the bond of the paint to canvas.
Step 5 Remove the tape to reveal your masterpiece! You can clean up any smudges on the white areas with
a cotton swab dipped in alcohol if needed.
Great job! You did it!
