My junking day find, the old piece of ceiling tin, was calling out to me yesterday. I covered it with a fresh coat of white, then added a garland of bright pink roses and blue hydrangeas with acryllic craft paint.
I never get tired of old ceiling tins, I love to paint on them, add mirrors to their center, or just display them as they are. I have plans to list this one for sale on Ebay sometime in the next couple of weeks.
PAINTING TIP: For building up color and getting depth in an acryllic painting, apply a layer of clear acryllic top coat over your base painting. let dry thouroughly ( I get impatient and use a blow dryer), add some detail, then clear coat again. Keep repeating, with layers of acryllic paint and layers of clear coat, ending with a finish layer of the clear coat for protection.
