Black Pearls Background

I did this technique before using paper towels as the base. This time, I tried it on a napkin. I like the thinner base.
Place napkin or paper towel on to foil or plastic. Sponge black (or other dark color) acrylic paint on to a napkin.
While the paint is wet, used a baby wipe to dab on metallic paint. Here I used Copper Lumiere Paint.
Once the paint has completely dried, remove it from the foil/plastic layer.
Also did this technique with a mixture of two Lumiere metallic paints, Super Sparkle and Pearl Turquoise.

LOL, you don't have to keep up with me! This is my "art therapy" great stress reliever, especially making backgrounds, no thought for a final project, just adding to may background stash. Have fun in AZ and give some of these a play later when you just want to play. : )
