Poured liquid acrylic medium on Yupo, added red, yellow and blue acrylic paint that was modified to a liquid state by mixing the colors with acrylic satin varnish. The colors were allowed to flow and merge on the Yupo, adding direction as needed.

The paint dried to a rubbery finish in 24 hours. The flowing design was cut out with an Exacto knife.

Heavy acrylic medium was added to the back of the design and to the canvas board. the design was turned over and placed on the board, once secured in place with a brayer a final coat of medium was brushed over the entire piece.
