How to create a 3D flower using Galeria Acrylic fluorescent colours
  1. Mix fluorescent colours individually with Gloss Gel (or Gel of preference) using a paper cup, container or disposable palette. ​
  2. Use roughly 2 part paint 1 part gel (the more Gel the more transparent colour becomes). ​
  3. Drawn a circle using HB pencil on paper or black card. Experiment first on paper to get a sense of the feel of paint viscosity.​
  4. Use a round or shaped palette knife to apply paint around inside edge of circle. Start from the outside and work in.​
  5. Apply slight downward pressure with palette knife to create ridge / 3D effect. Apply colours whilst still wet. Practice to understand how much pressure to apply and how fast/slow to paint.​
  6. Clean palette knife and apply next colour until you reach centre. You can create any pattern you want but imagine following numbers around a clock face as a point of reference.
