Try to work in the same order for every coat so that the tiles have sufficient time to dry before the next mixture is applied.

Begin by mixing the paints (see Mixing Chart on page 20). Basecoat the entire rose, being careful not to get any paint inside the carved lines.

Next, apply the shade mixture to the base of each petal, thinning it out toward the top. Cover the innermost petals entirely as this should be the darkest area of the rose.

mixture. Start just above the base and work your way out. The highlight 2 mixture should only be applied to the outermost petals, creating a gradual lightening from the heart of the rose outward. Drybrush the leaves with the leaf mixture for just a hint of color. Allow to dry overnight.

Once dry, brush on three coats of the Delta clear gloss glaze, allowing to dry at least one hour between coats. Be sure to cover the entire design, including the white carved lines. This will seal the paint and

the carving. Note: allow painted pieces to dry for at least 10 days before exposing to any moisture.
