Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 90

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Ice block stick, Old jam jar, Paintbrush, Red glitter, Resene Art Action glaze (gloss), Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer, Resene testpots of Resene Get Reddy and Resene So Cool, Sandpaper

Top tip: You might need to pour a little of the Resene Art Action Glaze into another pot if there’s not enough space to add and mix the glitter.

Here's another idea: This cool plastic bottle vase was painted with Resene Endorphin and dribbles of Resene Chaos, Resene Dizzy Lizzy and Resene Art Action glaze mixed with red glitter.
