Before we begin painting, let’s make sure that the edges of our frame are sealed. Squeeze a bead of sealant into the cracks (where the frame meets the glass) and remove any excess sealant with a cotton swab and paper towel.

With this piece, we will be creating depth with multiple layers of acrylic paint and epoxy. The background will be the darkest layer and the following layers will work their way up to the lightest color. Mix a small amount of black, red and magenta to create a deep maroon color. Apply 2-3 coats to the middle of the glass. Once the paint and sealant (from step 1) are completely dry, add a thin layer of MAS Epoxies’ Table Top Pro and let cure completely.

Trace the FREE downloadable heart template onto tissue paper with a pencil. Once traced, place the tissue paper onto the first layer of cured epoxy and trace the smallest heart with a sharpie. The sharpie will bleed through the tissue paper leaving a light outline of the traced heart.

Once your heart outline is transferred onto the cured epoxy, mix up a small batch of paint that is slightly lighter than the background color. Paint a couple coats of this lighter color around the heart outline, let the paint dry completely, and pour a thin layer of epoxy. Continue steps 3-4 until the entire surface is covered with the layers of painted hearts and epoxy.
