 Dina Wakley Neon Tags by Megan Whisner Quinlan Step 1

Step 1: Because we are creating a color band or spectrum, using a wide brush is handy. Here we chose the 2” wide Dina Wakley MEdia brush and white tags so the colors will remain bright.

Step 2: Spread out evenly a swath of each color on a glass mat or craft sheet. Dip your brush into the paint.
