Thank you. With this technique, I base coated the bottle with burnt umber and then a coat of acro red.I then took a large tub of water and sprayed the surface with brown and gold spray paint from a can. The paint sits on the surface of the water. I swirled the colors together on the water, then dipped and pulled the bottle through the paint. I repeated this until I was happy with the effect. It is best to have warm water and not wait too long from the time you spray the paint until you dip the object or the paint will clump together too much. It is a really messy process and be sure to wear gloves, but the effects are nice I think. I hope that helps! Thanks!
Thank you! This technique is not my own invention. I stumbled across it somewhere on the internet, so of course I wouldn't mind. I have looked for the original video, but I haven't been able to locate it. I can't wait to see your results!
