Laura spent her day brushing on the base coat of paint onto multiple features. The first coat is the most difficult as the concrete features are very porous and rough, and suck up a lot of paint. The challenge is to put the paint on as thick as possible without creating runs and drips. The second coat is a little easier, and the third blend coat is much faster. The final glazes go faster yet, and the dry brushing takes but a few minutes. All in all, a feature like this treasure chest will take one person seven or eight days in total. The end result will be pure magic!
