Print Project

Step 1

Blend a bit of Gold and pink with the white to create a background that will accent the succulent petals using a wide brush. Let the paint completely dry.

Step 2

Use a pencil to plan out your tree.

Step 3

Paint the trunk and branches with Gold ultra bright paint.

Step 4

Cut apart the succulent petals with a floral cutter. Work in layers to hot glue them to your canvas.
TIP: After you have completed the canvas, use a hot hair dryer over the tree to melt any glue strings that maybe visible.
