I use the slip slapped background application often; I love the random mottled look. Why develop a fl at background when with a little bit of brush manipu-lation you can add tone and texture to your back-ground. With the addition of dry brushing and stencil work this project will paint up very quickly for you. This is a quick and easy project which can be en-larged or reduced based on your surface size.

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONSBackgroundPaint the background using a slip slap brush tech-nique, load your 1" wash brush with Snow White, dip one corner of the brush into Indian Turquoise and the other into Blue Violet. Do not blend your brush on your palette; instead take it directly to your surface. Begin base coating the surface by using the slip slap technique and randomly vary your color placement on the surface to develop a mottled look. Reload your brush as needed to paint the piece. Work your paint down into the grooves of the surface.

Transfer the Moon to the sky area and using light circular strokes dry brush the moon with a blend of Snow White and a small amount of Blue Violet. This should be a very light blue mix, dry brush this lightly so that your background color is allowed to peek through. Using the dirty brush from the previous
