Sharp and chic artwork
You will need
- Scissors
- Low tack masking tape
- Resene testpots in your choice of colours; Nikki used Resene Nero and Resene Black White
- Piece of MDF
- Small roller and tray
- Pencil and ruler
Instructions
- – Paint the MDF in your base colour and leave to dry. Nikki used Resene Black White.
– Using the ruler, pencil out the pattern (you want rigid lines here, equally spaced apart).
– Mask using the low tack masking tape. - – Using the roller, paint all over with Resene Nero. Don't overload the roller otherwise it will bleed under the tape.
– Remove the masking tape before the paint dries. Leave to dry.
Top tip: To adjust the final sheen level of your artwork you can apply Resene Concrete Clear in gloss or flat finish. A gloss finish will make your artwork appear brighter and bolder. A flat finish will make your artwork appear muddier and more weathered.
