Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Trace around your hand with a pencil.

  2. 2

    Add any other details you want to include in your composition, such as nail polish bottles and puddles 
of paint.

  3. 3

    Paint in flat layers and leave to dry.

  4. 4

    Once dry, decide what colour dots your surface needs. You want to layer the colours so that they read as one from a distance. For example, to create skin tones, layer different shades of warm colours – peach paint with red-brown dots – to ‘read’ as tan.
