STEP ONE | PREPARING THE SPONGE PT. 1
First, begin preparing the sponge by using a brush to cover half of one side of a sponge with white paint.
STEP TWO | PREPARING THE SPONGE PT. 2
Then, over this white base, paint a central line with yellow paint, with a red line on one side and a blue line on the other.
STEP THREE | RAINBOW BASE
Use this sponge to create the base rainbow shape by dragging it lightly across the area in which you want the rainbow, ensuring the sponge is moving in the same direction as the lines on the sponge.
STEP FOUR | STARS
Using a Derivan stencil and a spouncer or sponge, position the star stencil at the centre of the rainbow and dab white paint over it to create the star shape. Repeat this twice more, once on each side of the central star.
STEP FIVE | WHITE DETAILS
Using a round brush loaded with white paint, create three short strokes that curve inwards towards each end of the rainbow, making three on each side. When creating each stroke, apply more pressure at the beginning of the stroke and then release this pressure to create a thinner end for each line.
STEP SIX | FINISHING TOUCHES
Using the same technique outlined above, create short strokes above and below the central star, moving inward toward the star and creating tapering lines by using the pressure technique.
Create five lines above and five lines below the central star, with the central lines being the longest, the next two lines on either side being slightly shorter, and the outermost lines being the shortest.
