Resene art with Mark Rayner - Project 41

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: MDF or plywood panel (ours measured approximately 775mm x 500mm), masking tape, paintbrushes, Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Paua, Resene Multishield+ gloss (now Resene Concrete Clear), Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat, Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect, Resene Testpots of Resene Bullion and Resene Porsche, tape measure.

To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene SpaceCote Flat waterborne enamel tinted to Resene Frangipani.

Other ideas: For a bold red and green combination try Resene Adrenalin Junkie and Resene Japanese Laurel.

Step one
Prime the panel with one coat of Resene Quick Dry and allow to dry for two hours.

Step two
Paint the panel with one coat of Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect, applying the paint using a stippling technique to create texture. Leave to dry for two hours.

Step three
Apply two coats of Resene Paua to the panel, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step four
Mask off a random combination of horizontal stripes. Ours measured approximately 25mm, 50mm, 100mm and 150mm.

Step five
Paint alternate stripes with two coats of Resene Porsche, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step six
Apply one coat of Resene Bullion, brushing along the line of the stripe as shown. Allow two hours to dry and then apply a second coat of Resene Bullion.
