Painting your Border
- Use a large paintbrush or foambrush
- Start from one corner, and place your brush near the gutta line,
but not close that
you are in danger of having paint run across it.
- Paint quickly along one side.
- Work on the two leading edges of paint, so that both are kept wet
and you do not
get watermarks. Add paint to one edge and paint more along that side,
then dip
your brush in the paint and add more paint to the other edge and work on
that side
until you need more paint, and so on.
- Turn the frame around as you go, to make access to each side
easier.
- If your resultant border is not smooth, leave it to dry and then
apply another coat.
When you have finished painting, let the silk stay on the frame until it
is completely dry.
