3. Let the paint or glue dry for a few hours. Take your choice of color of acrylic paint and paint over the entire shape. When dry, 1 or 2 coats may be necessary. A quicker alternative is to use artist gesso first. Once dry, normally one one coat of paint is necessary. Paint the other side when the first side is finished.
