I recently had to part with my iPad for a few weeks while it was repaired. I've wanted to paint the cover and decided this was the time. It's black leather so I started with a base of black gesso to give the paint something to stick to. Then.....what color? Well, of course, my favorite, blue and turquoise. After I had the background the way I wanted it, I used The Crafter's Workshop stencil, Corn Flowers (TClW375) and painted a layer of white gesso through the stencil before I painted the red flowers and green stems and leaves. This made the flower colors really pop against the blue background.
After I was all finished, I put 3 coats of Golden GAC-100 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Polymer so that it would create a durable finish. It added a bit of shine too. Now I just need my iPad back!!
