Tape the Frame
Setup Your Workspace
First, you’ll want to tape the frame. Unless you’re able to detach the art from the frame- this is the easiest way to ensure the frame stays clean.

I began by blocking out the basic shape and landscape, then layered on the paint as I mixed up different colors…
Apply Texture
Setup Your Workspace
This adds a giclée type texture to the surface, giving it an artist enhanced look and dimension.
Rather than waiting for each layer to dry, I try to work quickly- blending as I go. I also keep my mattie medium (extender) handy,.
