How it is done:

  • Prime the vase unevenly with white. Then leave to dry thoroughly.
  • Dab on turquoise using the sponge and water: as unevenly as you wish, on individual areas only or all over. Leave to dry briefly.
  • Work in, stipple or wipe the emerald on with a sponge or brush.
  • Other effects can be achieved using brown.
  • To achieve the desired effect, smudge the edges using a wet brush.
  • For a golden wiper effect, apply paint selectively with the Metallic-Liner Gold and wipe with the sponge.
  • Create further highlights as required and then let the item dry completely.
