Step 1

Paint the frame in a deep green blue tone. Apply multiple coats for solid coverage.

Step 2

Paint the beads in a terra cotta tone. Lay them flat and paint in sections and rotate once dry. Repeat the painting until they are all covered.

Step 3

Blend paints for the soft background. Use water to thin the paint and create a watercolor effect. Let dry.

Step 4

Paint the fan palm.

Step 5

Finish the sign by painting on the words “Shine On”.
TIP: Instead of painting on the words, use a cutting machine to cut vinyl and transfer them to your sign.
