Project 1: I’d Rather Be Golfing Sign

Materials

Step 1: Paint the inside of your 8" wood canvas with Raw Silk paint for a clean, bright background.

Step 2: Center the β€œI’d Rather Be Golfing” stencil inside the frame. Using a stencil brush, apply black paint with a light swirling or tapping motion to avoid bleed-through.
