Resene art with Mark Rayner - Project 11

Difficulty level: Easy

You will need: Green towel or piece of fabric, plastic mannequin torso, paintbrush and small paint roller/tray, red glitter, Resene Enamacryl Metallic (now Resene FX Metallic) tinted to Resene Adrenalin Junkie, Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Old Brick, Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) gloss, Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect, Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer, sandpaper, small table.

To get the look: Mark painted the background woodwork with Resene Enamacryl tinted to Resene White Linen.

Other ideas: For a really sumptuous look try using Resene Enamacryl Metallic (now Resene FX Metallic) tinted to Resene Bullion.

Step one
Lightly sand the mannequin to provide a ‘key’ to the surface – this will help the sealer to adhere.

Step two
Apply one coat of Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer to the mannequin. Allow to dry.

Step three
Using an old paintbrush and ‘stippling’ technique, apply one coat of Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect to the mannequin. Allow to dry.

Step four
Apply two coats of Resene Old Brick to the mannequin. Allow to dry.

Step five
Using a small roller, apply two coats of Resene Adrenalin Junkie to the mannequin. Allow to dry.

Step six
Mix two small pots of red glitter with some Resene Multishield+ (now Resene Concrete Clear) gloss and apply three coats to the mannequin, allowing two hours to dry between coats.
