I have some airbrush medium but haven't really used it yet!!

[@judywoodsart]

Give it a try!

[@susanschweit8862]

This is great. What kind of wise squeegee are you using.? Is it the kind used for silk screening ? I’m in the US.thanks

[@judywoodsart]

Yes, it is a silkscreen squeegee.

[@annadean8210]

Thank you for sharing this great info for getting started. Can I ask about the second panels used? Are they MDF? Do you frame them inside a box frame? You can tell I'm a beginner by the questions! 😀😀

[@judywoodsart]

Yes, they are MDF - but I've had oak box frames made.
