2. Place two craft sticks on the area to be finished and move only the right stick to form radial pattern (figure A). Keep moving the right stick in a fan-like motion and mark the areas with a pencil as you go along (figure B). 3. Heavily load a one-inch bristle brush with raw sienna glaze. Apply the paint to the radial pattern (figure C).
4. While the raw sienna glaze is still wet, dip the round nylon brush into the burnt sienna glaze and randomly place the lozenges in groups of three next to and into the raw sienna glaze (figure D).
5. Using the grey goat blender, lightly whisk the two colors together in the radial pattern (figure E). Avoid over-blending as this can cause a muddy look. Let dry for five hours.
6. Apply burnt umber glaze with the nylon round brush in lozenges of three to deepen and intensify the previous colors (figure F). The burnt umber glaze should overlap and shade the burnt sienna glaze from before. Whisk as in step 5 ( figure G). Let dry overnight.
7. Place lozenges of black acrylic paint in groups of two to accent the tortoise shell look (figure H). Let dry for one hour.
8. Tint the oil varnish with a small amount of burnt umber oil paint.
10. Finish with one coat of clear varnish.
